I never realised how well Dexter performed during the Grand Challenge. I wish NOVA had covered your team's progress as well. A very inspiring story, just some average Joe's engineering a solution in the farmlands of West Virginia, just as good as any of the universities. Darn the rock that caused a flat tire!
It's not going to happen with traditional. It's too difficult to pick all brush nuances and subtle techniques and it'll generate 0 money, it'll be only a waste of money for anyone that's not doing it as a personal project.
Is there any reason you haven't yet tried combining this with the recent developments in text to image generation? Given how hot those are right now, I'd think that would be something to try, if not for anything else, just for publicity alone.
Im unsure if you have maybe already done it or considered it, but how about making an image with an Ai generation tool like Midijourney and going all out on the robot arm painting it? =)
It is not making art by itself, but it is probably being creative. I mean by this logic, an artist that makes photo-realistic portraits is also not creative, and just an elaborate printer. Right?
@@PindarVanArman exactly. Photo-realism that is devoid of expression isn't creative, it isn't Art. It is painting, a purely technical excercise. Creativity is very difficult to define and therefore resistant to algorithms and computation. To create a machine that is creative, we would have to understand volition, desire, boredom and an entire set of drives that are poorly understood in animals and humans. However, the work you are doing is amazing and very useful. I didn't mean to criticize what you are doing here. Just think this type of computational approach to creativity lacks an understanding of what creativity actually is.
Wow! Very cool! Do you control the robot or program it? I painted Van Gogh’s Starry Night...but with yarn! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PiiHvc3ezIg.html
