Becoming slime – the slimy realm of the AI bestiary
We conducted an additional experiment to explore the interaction with slime, aiming to enrich our creative process by symbolically saturating conventional AI models with a viscous substance. This endeavor involved crafting a series of slimy bestiaries. Leveraging AI models, we generated five distinct beasts through the use of specific prompts.
These slimy beasts and experiments show attempts for alternative storytelling. As such, the ambiguity of myths, metamorphosis and pataphysics were used as poetic tools for the reconfiguration of ideas and imagination while making us aware about water and power consumption of current ai models.
