What is the impact of computer-generated and ai imagery on contemporary art?
Yes, I scored the domain, aiArtImagery.com, to support my foray into the world of artworks created with the use of Artificial Intelligence software algorithms and/or websites offering such services. Computer Generated Images (CGI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have been in use for a (relatively) long time. We are used to seeing CGI in major motion pictures like Jurassic Park and Star Wars. However, the concept of creating art with Artificial Intelligence by describing, in text, what the desired outcome should be had become somewhat of a buzz-word topic these days.
Computer Generated Imagery (CGI)
Computer-generated imagery (CGI) has had a significant impact on contemporary art. The use of technology in art has allowed artists to create images and animations that were previously impossible to create with traditional methods. CGI has also changed the way that artists create and think about their work, as well as the way that audiences experience and interact with art.
One of the key benefits of CGI in art is that it allows for greater experimentation and exploration. Artists can now create images and animations that are incredibly detailed, complex, and intricate. They can also manipulate and distort reality in new and interesting ways. This has led to the creation of new art forms, such as digital painting and virtual reality installations.
Another impact of CGI on contemporary art is that it has made it more accessible. With the widespread use of computers and digital tools, many more people are now able to create and share their work with a wider audience. This has resulted in a democratization of the art world and has allowed for a wider range of perspectives and voices to be heard.
Finally, CGI has also changed the way that art is experienced and consumed. With the increasing use of digital devices, audiences are now able to engage with art in new and interactive ways. For example, virtual reality installations allow viewers to enter and explore a digital world, while augmented reality apps allow them to experience art in a new and interactive way.
Overall, the impact of CGI on contemporary art has been profound. It has opened up new possibilities for artists, made art more accessible, and changed the way that audiences experience and interact with art.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Imagery
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been increasingly used in the creation of images and other forms of visual art, and its impact on contemporary art has been significant.
One of the main impacts of AI-generated imagery is that it has opened up new possibilities for artists to experiment and create in ways that were previously not possible. For example, AI algorithms can generate new images or animations based on a set of inputs or parameters, allowing artists to create complex and intricate works that would be difficult or impossible to produce manually.
Another impact of AI on contemporary art is that it has changed the way that art is created and experienced. AI algorithms can create images that are indistinguishable from those made by human artists, leading to debates about the nature of creativity and authorship in the digital age. AI also has the potential to change the way that audiences experience art, by enabling the creation of immersive and interactive experiences that respond to a viewer’s actions.
Finally, AI has also had an impact on the way that art is consumed and distributed. With the increasing use of digital devices and online platforms, AI-generated images and animations can be easily shared and viewed by a global audience, leading to new and diverse forms of artistic expression.
In conclusion, AI has already begun to have a profound impact on contemporary art and it is likely that this will continue to evolve and grow in the future. As AI technologies advance and become more accessible, they will continue to open up new avenues for artistic exploration and expression.
Change has always been upon us.
Like it or not, we are always experiencing change in one form or another. CGI and AI in art is no exception.
I have been exploring this “new fangled” approach to creating images and have started a small online gallery among the good people at Fine Art America. The two images above are, of course available as wall art and on a variety of home decor items. Click an image above or a link below.

It must be tricky keeping track of all these sites! Do you think it helps having unique sites for different topics? I think it must be easier to build the rank of just one?
It’s not that “tricky” – likely because back when my daughter and I were selling checks as a “merchant” and had affiliates sending us customers we had about 40 sites going. The SEO can more easily be tailored to each niche and (may) improve stickiness. For example, someone looking for photographs of the Indian River Bridge will find only those images there – the Fort McHenry images are on another site. However, once they get to my main gallery (via a link) they may get distracted by other collections. But who knows – who really knows, eh?
