goodEvening Out West this Midjourney Monday
AI Art is radically post-style
the images are not the Art
the Art is the algorithm

my newly announced AI Art explores a specific Generative AI system called Midjourney. San Francisco-based Midjourney is a well-known subscription-based AI platform && closed source engine for generating images from natural language. i have been working with Midjourney since it was in beta, during the summer of 2022. at the end of the year, on December 16, 2024, Midjourney introduced a new feature which allows us to create styles && share them with unique code identifiers. my new AI Art is called glitch.club && the Art is the personalization style “(dashdash) p m7294690640451862564” that anyOne can use
the code (of the personalization style) is the Art. the source && outcomes of this algorithmic art can be seen && collected here, on https://rodeo.club/@glitchclub a socialMedia for Digital Art, however, the individual images are not the artwork. the individual images are expressions of the artwork. the artwork itself is the personalization style “(dashdash) p m7294690640451862564” which can be activated inside Midjourney. as in these examples, “(dashdash) p m7294690640451862564” can interpret any image(s), for instance the most famous art, in order to render its own interpretations. this machine learning artificial intelligence process is the artwork: “(dashdash) p m7294690640451862564”

*Medium translated 2 dashes into one emdash, therefore i have written “(dashdash) p m7294690640451862564” as the title of the artwork for this Medium article. when activating my Algorithmic Art in Midjourney, you should use the correct syntax of the actual dashes
