Description

As a fiber artist new to NFTs learning all about the different art styles that digital artists use, I was fascinated by the images generated by inputting descriptive phrases into AI art generators and how the resulting images were composed. While some results are hauntingly realistic and accurate, other images produced can have a Frankenstein-esque appearance with randomly placed appendages, exaggerated features, or missing components completely. For the #TezAus event, the text prompt for the artists to create was 'some type of work that had to do with Australia'. I thought it would be fun to try to imagine what a koala yarn might look like, and set off to construct one. The tree branch and koala are a unified whole, created during the yarn construction phase when drafting the fiber, but the koala seemed to be "missing" parts. I began to rummage through my supplies to see if I had anything to help flesh out the koala a bit more and located some plastic doll's eyes. Upon seeing it, I knew it would be a perfect fit, unusually large and disproportionate to my koala and very reminiscent of some of my recent AI generative art prompt fails. So with a little bit of fiber, eye balls, and a sense of humor, may I present to you this AI prompt fail 'koala', but made with fiber. I hope it brightens your day when looking at it, and a friendly reminder that even when things don't turn out how we envisioned them in our mind, there can still be some redeeming koala-ties in our attempts. _______ Materials: wool fiber, hand dyed and handspun yarn, commercially yarn, woven fabric, plastic doll eyes, pins Constructed by hand and digitally altered _______ GIF 1000x1077 px, Rochester, New York, 2022 Created by Alanna Wilcox @spinnybuns on Instagram & Twitter alannawilcox.com
