``A ten, kdo nás dokáže krmit pestrými a mihotavými obrázky, nás bude schopen dostat kamkoli bude chtít.''

``And the one able to feed us with colorful blinking images shall be able to get us there, where (s)he wants.''

``Und (der|die|das)jenige die uns mit den bunten bewegenden Bildern futtern kann, wird uns genau dort bringen, wo (er|sie|es) will.''

Jan Sokol, Kleine Philosophie des Menschens (1994)

Intermezzo :: Voice generation

within the context of Digital Primer project, we work a lot with speech recognition and speech synthesis

currently we have two voices: HJK (male, english with korean accent); DO (female, german)

we use open-source coqui text-to-speech (TTS) to generate voices

first AI-generated image which was present on udk.ai in 2022 was obtained by prompting DALLe-mini with "girl in white robe with white sheep among white roses in painting of monet"

Karel Čapek v0.0.2

Named after a Czech author (and a skilled Gardener) who, 103 years ago, coined the word "Robot" (🤖) in his theatre piece "Rossum's Universal Robots", Karel v0.0.2 is a 🤖 which

waits in certain matrix rooms (e.g. #AI-UdK:m3x.baumhaus.digital) for messages having a form "!txt2img SOMETHING"

he passes SOMETHING to udk.ai's instance of Stable Diffusion through Automatic1111 API

posts the generated image back in the matrix room

injects corresponding "knowledge unit" into udk.ai's knowledge graph

!txt2img berlin university of the arts, decisive strategic advantage, artificial intelligence

Conclusio

something's going on...

art is EXACTLY the domain where use of ARTificial intelligence is meaningful

curation, replicability, accountability in AI gen art should not be neglected

UdK Berlin (currently) still has a slight "decisive strategic advantage" (DSA)

public sector (currently) has structural difficulties to fund or provide long-term perspective for truly innovative projects

ethical (moratorium?) and ecological (KKN) aspects must not be neglected
