Lito, a self-taught Japanese artist who began creating intricate, hand-carved art on fallen leaves as a way to manage his ADHD. He carefully selects each leaf & carves whimsical patterns that often depict animals, objects & landscapes - transforming delicate leaves into complex scenes.
Art that captures the fleeting beauty of nature.
@smlx4 @jpelckolsen: I'm surprised that his website https://lito-leafart.com is not mentioned in this article.
It also sports a photograph showing how he works.
@mafe @smlx4 The horrible part is that only a year ago, faking something like that would take a lot of time and quite a bit of photoshop savvy. And while it was definitely possible, why would any one bother with that for next to no gain? No, there's no pain so why not flood the internet with slob for a few followers?
I will say that the consistency of the images is what convinces me that they are in fact real. You cannot prompt a gen ai model to produce such consistent outputs.
@jpelckolsen @mafe AI can be used for many good things with good intentions. But as always, there is always the dark side that immediately picks up the technology & transforms it into propaganda to their advantage. We can already see extremely dangerous examples of use in various areas such as politics, porn, targeted phishing campaigns, stalking methods & fraud.
@jpelckolsen Same thing here. So sad.
@smlx4 Lito's personal website, for those who might be interested:
My gods, how incredibly beautiful those are.
Wow. This is crazy :o
And he makes it permanent with photography with backgrounds and backlight that enhance his sculptures.
@smlx4 quelle minutie, quelle poésie, pour des œuvres éphémères.
C'est beau.
(Sorry, didn't notice it was in English 😅)
What a meticulous and poetic work of art! Fascinating and ephemeral. A pure beauty.
