alignDRAW - the first text-to-image artwork from 2015.
By early 2015, neural networks had mastered the art of 'image-to-text' and could create natural language captions for images. Flipping this process, and turning text into image, was a much more complex challenge solved by 19-year old prodigy Elman Mansimov's alignDRAW model.
Fellowship is pleased to present a special release of both print editions and fully on-chain NFTs of this historical artwork, containing all the original images created in 2015.
"alignDRAW images can be compared to the first fixed photographs taken by Niepce in 1826-1827." Dr Lev Manovich
"These images represent the birth of text prompt AI generated imagery." Darius Himes, Christie's
What 2015 provenance is there?
The 'Paper Prompts' can be found in the published academic paper, 'Generating Images from Captions with Attention', submitted in November 2015. You can view the paper here:
https://arxiv.org/abs/1511.02793
The lead author of the paper was Elman Mansimov and the co-authors were Emilio Parisotto, Jimmy Lei Ba, Ruslan Salakhutdinov.
The 'Process Prompts' can be found on the University of Toronto website. Using archive.org you can see also see these images displayed in November 2015:
