A Surreal Ceremony pays homage to the Edo-period Ukiyo-e woodblock prints while exploring the avant-garde realms of AI-assisted art. It features a tea ceremony led by a cucumber with peppers and broccoli as guests. The work combines traditional Japanese culture with surreal anthropomorphism.
This artwork contrasts the meticulous handcrafted nature of woodblock prints with the precision and scalability of AI, paralleling Ukiyo-e's historical accessibility with the modern potential for mass art production through technology. It encourages a dialogue on the intersection of art, tradition, and technology. "A Surreal Ceremony" questions the future of artistic expression and cultural storytelling in the age of AI.
About AI-assisted art:
AI-assisted art recognises the partnership between human creativity and AI capability. The human element involves conceptualising the idea and creating the prompt. The AI fulfils the role of executing the concept based on its programming and learned patterns. It differs from the more specialised field of AI art, where artists have a hand in coding and training the models themselves, emphasising a deeper integration and understanding of the technology involved in the creative process.
