On Monday, May 5 at 1:45 p.m. in the Cribari Conference Room we want to draw you in for a very special presentation involving AI in the Art world. This is a modified demo. We will only be addressing AI in art, not AI and its bigger industry usage. Joel Pollack is an industry expert in electronic displays, holding a B.S. in Physics from Rochester Institute of Technology and an M.S. in Materials Science from the University of Rochester.
Joel’s was a physicist at Xerox WRC. He also has a background in engineering, marketing, development, and management, at companies like Tektronix, Sharp Microelectronics, Samsung, and Nividia and was CEO at Clairvoyante. In 2016 he retired from Amazon’s Lab 126 as manager of display engineering for products like the Kindle. Currently he is a private industry consultant.
Among his other interests he is a commercial drone pilot and amateur photographer/videographer active in the Camera Club. Which leads us to Joel’s recent applying his mastering AI imaging using an industry leading tool, Midjourney, for promptography.
Artificial Intelligence is a term frequently seen in the news for products like self-driving vehicles, Chat GPT, language, and more. Let Joel explain in his best layman’s terms about Midjourney, Joel will show a range of images to demonstrate the depth and capability from photorealism to artwork.
Joel is encouraging you, Villagers, to create pencil or charcoal sketches and even a photograph to send to him at jpollack.cy@gmail.com in any format or scan as a PDF.
He’ll use Midjourney for some to create AI retexturing netting different artistic looks of the original submissions. Make yourself available and perhaps some of your questions will be answered like, “how do they do that?”
