- gedy 4y agoYes, I've been doing just this, then brushing over the canvas print with thick varnish, it's quite convincing.
- tern 4y agoAnd then what is the story behind the work? Well: an artist made someone with DALL-E, printed it, and then printed over it to make it convincing. Now, compare with: "this is an original master work of a historically revered artist," just to take _an_ example. Alternatively, "my friend made this by painstakingly carving into a 200 year old block of hardwood taken from the Black Forest after the death of their father." Certainly you can fool people, but what's the point of that? Not to nock it, but things are what they are. Art is received as the entire experience of the object. Often a simple print is the right thing for the context, but that's not what OP is getting at.
- cercatrova 4y agoThe point is it looks nice enough for gedy to hang up on the walls. I presume they don't care about fooling anyone, and likely would readily tell those who ask that it's an AI image. Sometimes people value the aesthetic over the provenance or story behind a piece of art.
- gedy 4y agoYes precisely. E.g. I enjoy Gustav Klimt paintings and thought it would be interesting if he had painted in Asia, and DALL-E helps makes that idea impressively "real": https://i.postimg.cc/nL2fMWPb/EB46-BE10-929-B-4358-BBCA-60-FC9-C286890.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/nL2fMWPb/EB46-BE10-929-B-4358-BBCA-60-F...
