With the development of AI and the ease at which art can be created, only the artists that are constantly seeking to express their unique individual voices will remain relevant

[Teddy Rycroft @teddyrycroft]

There are so many reasons why you’d want to create art.

- to generate income

- to inspire audiences

- to better understand yourself

- to receive validation

Why do you create?

[Teddy Rycroft @teddyrycroft]

I’m convinced that success is based on finding the best pace

It’s not about going as fast as you can

It’s not about moving at a comfortable snail speed

Don’t let social media convince you that you need to rush forward. Move at a pace that challenges you but feels sustainable

@Drewchild96 Hi, is this spot still available? Im interested (got your info from Emily!)

[Teddy Rycroft @teddyrycroft]

@_JackJulian Amazing fam, for real. Excited to see DD and gen. art used with real footage, and excited to see it work as a standalone visual medium.

[Teddy Rycroft @teddyrycroft]

AI Art is not about finding convenient ways to emulate art or recreate things from the past. It’s about discovering a whole new way to express, to tell stories.

The future looks bright

Combining multiple input videos in #warpfusion
Eagle flight is driving the flow, flower timelapse is the background that is leaking forward.

[Teddy Rycroft @teddyrycroft]

I’ve been experimenting with #AI and #vqgan with my music. What do you think?

[Teddy Rycroft @teddyrycroft]

@ala_art_lab @foundation all the processing you did to get the composition clean and subject clear is awesome! AI is being used as a tool for storytelling

[Derrick van Heerden (Psychederic / Indigo Aura) @indigoaura432]

A short clip for from a new project I am working on with @sundog_art It is going to be a 20 minute long film. This is just a test with all the wrong settings. It does have sound.

[Teddy Rycroft @teddyrycroft]

@indigoaura432 @sundog_art This is really impressive! One of many capacities of #AI that will be used endlessly in the future I’m sure

[Teddy Rycroft @teddyrycroft]

#neuralnetworks will become macroscopic versions of our own brains…

#AI has allowed for an insane level of output…

#crypto will provide a way to digitally transfer currency instantaneously…

The future is going to be a sci-if movie. I’m all for it 🤙🏽

[Teddy Rycroft @teddyrycroft]

AI, like previous technological developments, widens the scope of what a single individual is capable of.

Before computers you needed a whole studio with engineers to make a song.

Before cars you needed a team of horses and a driver to travel long distances…

[Teddy Rycroft @teddyrycroft]

One could say that about the camera. Hours of work put into a landscape painting now done in a second!

The point is tech has always allowed for some sort of convenience regarding how arts been made. But there will eventually erupt a whole new avenue of how we create!

(3/3)

[Teddy Rycroft @teddyrycroft]

What does the future of art look like with #AI and #GenerativeArt?

It’s tempting to see this tech as a way to be lazy…

One could’ve said the same about drum machines, since now one can create drum grooves without knowing how to play (1/3)

[Teddy Rycroft @teddyrycroft]

One could say that about the advent of the microphone, since now singers don’t have to project loudly to be heard in a large concert hall

(most pre-mic vocal music involved belting, resonant singing, think music theater and operatic music)

(2/3)
