Each day, the project reads the previous day’s news, distills its central themes, and transforms them into a symbolic image inspired by influential painters from art history.
The artists referenced here absorbed the turbulence of their historical moment, transforming it through personal vision and the means available to them. This project adopts a similar position, filtering contemporary events through a modern creative instrument: artificial intelligence.
The result is not reportage, but reflection — a visual meditation that transforms facts into myth, headlines into allegory, and daily noise into a single contemplative image.
What happens in the workshop?
The creative procedure starts with the keyword analysis of yesterday's news. Once the influential story has been selected an AI tool prepares verbal instruction to another one which is responding with an image. The first tool acknowledges this by defining a title for the image. Finally an automation publishes the picture.
The prompt curator may overrule the artifact and rerun the creative procedure.
Feel free to download the pictures and use for non-commercial purpose, eg. home decoration.
