Emma Catnip on Instagram: "When @openaidalle invited me to join the Artist Program earlier this year I was delighted. An avid follower of DALL·E’s progress, I couldn’t wait! I’d been using different methods of AI/ML in my creative process and was beyond excited to incorporate it into the pipeline. The first time in front of the interface is almost intimidating - like when someone asks you to find something funny on YouTube and your mind goes blank! This passes quickly: before you know, it’s dawn and your face hurts from laughing. The realisation sinks in that you can see things that you have never seen before. DALL·E quickly became a creative collaborator.  I experimented with aesthetics/wild ideas.  I became obsessed with ‘variations’ for a while and letting DALL·E lead the direction to make short films - the results were sometimes unexpected!  Back in Feb, I embarked on a creative campaign for @plaidmusic at @warprecords around the release of ‘Feorm Falorx’.  The concept: Feorm Falorx is a 24-hour non-stop electronic music festival, held on the planet ‘Falorx’ where all life is turned into light.  As the album/artwork developed, I was keen to incorporate the new advances in creative tech as they manifested.  A fun idea was to create a graphic novel documenting Plaid’s journey/experience of space travel.  DALL·E became an essential part of my toolkit, especially the outpainting feature. I could create HUGE ‘collages’ for pages, expand on previous creations. I tried Falorxian flora first. Previously generated in DALL·E, some photoshop, upscaled. That image fed into another AI model (I had formed a style to ‘falorxify’ images). This stylised image back to DALL·E, outpainting to extend above/below to the one you see here and finally in place on the page🛸 Repeatedly using this technique to explore previously unknown areas of existing images,  feeding them back and forth to other models, with coaxing+patience, the story unfolded. 9/10 months+many late nights ‘Journey to Feorm Falorx’ was released 11/11/22. I can actually hold it in my hands. The warm feedback from readers makes me feel emotions.   Thank you DALL·E💜 Big love to my @n0m1nt and @jungler.tv fam for all your support 😻"
