My name is Alina Mulyavka, aka Diem. I am a member of a small creative group exploring the potential of artificial intelligence in generative art. We set out to create a completely new product for the NFT market: a project created entirely by AI, centered on a unique discovery we made—an "anthropological artifact" within ChatGPT. The model was capable of generating realistic depictions of San (Bushman) women in their traditional, unclothed state—a reflection of their actual culture. This became the foundation for our creative work. Our project holds unique value because this specific AI behavior is no longer possible following subsequent model updates. We captured a historic moment and created an art piece dedicated to that event. We used artificial intelligence as the primary tool to build the project's entire structure, including the website, textual content, domain, and overall concept. SYNTHETIC SAKURA stands as an example of the synergy between humans and artificial intelligence.
We are no strangers to the art world. We previously launched the "Johnny and Mr. Green" NFT project—a mixed-media satire of the NFT industry centered on Johnny the fly and his friend, Mr. Green. The project received positive reviews on nftdesignawards.io.
