The first text-to-image artwork from 2015.

DAILY, in partnership with Fellowship, is excited to release the first text-to-Image AI artworks from Elman Mansimov’s alignDRAW, a breakthrough project that marked a new era of human-machine collaboration.

“When we look at the initial low-resolution and hazy images from nearly two centuries ago, we see the whole future potential of photography, which eventually became the dominating imaging and communication technology of our time. And when I look at comparable low-resolution alignDRAW pictures, I see a similar promise for a new major visual method that could very soon become as essential as lens photography was in the last two hundred years.”

— Dr. Lev Manovich (the most cited digital art writer in the world).

In January 2024 the prestigious Worcester Art Museum announced their acquisiton of 3 paper prompt print editions:

• A stop sign flying in blue skies
• A herd of elephants flying in the blue skies
• A green school bus parked in a parking lot

The artworks will be included in an upcoming show entitled New Terrain: 21st-Century Landscape Photography. This Spring Exhibition will showcase meditations on place and identity created in the past 20 years.

The museum's vast collection spans 38,000 objects from around the world and Mansimov's alignDRAW will share a place alongside some of the some of the most renowned artists in history incluiding Picasso, Rembrant, Monet, Van Gogh, Matisse, Pollock and more.

"There was significant advancement in image captioning around that time [2015]. Given my familiarity with generative models and newly acquired research skills, I pondered over inverting the captioning process. Instead of transitioning from image to text, I envisioned going from text to image. My core hypothesis before embarking on alignDRAW was that image generation should be a recurrent, iterative process, rather than an instantaneous creation.

I was 19 when I began this project. At the time, I wasn't dwelling on my age. I felt I was doing something significant and valuable. My primary goal was to hone my skills and enhance my academic prospects in deep learning. While I anticipated progress in generative models and image generation, I hadn't foreseen this technology becoming as mainstream and impactful as it has."
