Eisbär / Diamond Painting

Picture of a polar bear in a zoo enclosure, prepared as a diamond painting design. The image was created using the DALL.E 2 AI and the search term ‘polar bear’. The AI responded to the search by generating images of polar bears in captivity and not a single image of one in the wild (the search was performed on June 17th, 2024).

The work was realized in the frame of my fellowhip at Research Institute for Sustainability I at GFZ (RIFS) Potsdam where I worked on the representation and reception of the Arctic in images.
