alignDRAW by @elmanmansimov: the first text-to-image AI model, built in 2015, whose blurry 32x32 outputs were the first images ever generated from a written sentence.

More below 👇

[OpenSea @opensea]

Elman Mansimov was born in Azerbaijan in 1996 and began a computer science degree at the University of Toronto at fifteen, supervised by Ruslan Salakhutdinov.
By early 2015, neural networks could look at a photograph and write a caption for it.

Elman was nineteen when he asked the obvious question in reverse: could a network read a sentence and draw it? The result was alignDRAW, and the paper describing it, "Generating Images from Captions with Attention," was submitted in November 2015 with co-authors Emilio Parisotto, Jimmy Lei Ba and Ruslan Salakhutdinov. It was accepted as an oral presentation at ICLR 2016.

The model produced 2,709 images from 36 text prompts, each one 32 by 32 pixels and barely legible. Twenty-one of those prompts appear in the published paper. The rest, the Process Prompts, were posted to a University of Toronto web page and can still be seen there through https://t.co/sK7GvaIH52, dated November 2015. This piece is one of them: "A very large commercial airplane sitting on a surfboard in the water," image 92 of the 121 the model generated for that sentence. The prompt is the title. The blur
is the artwork.

Then almost nothing happened for six years. Elman earned his PhD from NYU under Kyunghyun Cho and is now a senior applied scientist at Amazon in New York. alignDRAW stayed inside academic citations until DALL-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion made text prompts a household act, and people started asking where the idea had come from. In April 2023, artist Alejandro Cartagena reached out about bringing the original images onchain. Fellowship (@fellowshiptrust) released them as NFTs, each holding the original 2015 image in its native byte format, completing fully onchain storage in May 2024.

The art world moved quickly after that. alignDRAW showed at Paris Photo fair in November 2023, at HERE at No. 9 Cork Street in London, and in a Christie's online auction that December. In 2024, the Worcester Art Museum acquired three paper prompt print editions for its permanent collection, placing the work in a show titled New Terrain: 21st-Century Landscape Photography.

That June it was exhibited alongside Art Basel in “Collaborations with the Artificial Self,” hung between Harold Cohen's AARON and Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst's Infinite Images. "This is the Nicéphore Niépce of AI," said Darius Himes, International Head of Photographs at Christie's.

Lev Manovich put it the same way: "alignDRAW images can be compared to the first fixed photographs taken by Niépce in 1826-1827." For the ten-year anniversary in 2025, Elman rebuilt the original model on modern hardware, and Fellowship published a book with 2709 images and essays on the experiment's origins.

The inclusion of alignDRAW 2438 in our Flagship Collection honors the first attempt to turn a written sentence into a picture: a 32 by 32 pixel guess at an airplane on a surfboard, made in 2015 by a nineteen-year-old, and still being reprinted, rerun, and argued over ten years later.

Welcome home, 2438 🌊
