MARK’S MIDJOURNEY (1)

HILOBROW friend Mark Frauenfelder has been experimenting, recently, with Midjourney, an AI-generated art-making tool in closed beta. We are pleased to share with you a few of his creations.
I use a text-to-image AI system called Midjourney to generate art. It’s easy to use. I type in something like “illustrations from a 1960s kids book about warlocks” and in a minute or less, I’m presented with 4 different images that the world has never seen before. I can refine the images by tweaking the prompt “illustrations from a 1960s kids science fiction book about warlocks” or by telling MidJourney to make variations of the art it generated. It feels like I’m exploring a Borgesian art library, and the prompts are cards from its infinite card catalog.
This series of posts will feature some of my favorite images so far.
