Danielle King´s quotes:
“Art history is a huge passion of mine. I’m very interested in depictions of women throughout art history. I try to explore that a lot in my work, in terms of how does a woman see women. Trying to look at them with a different gaze.”
“AI tool has access to all of this information, different artists, different movements, different styles, I thought what would it be like to be like to create alternative art histories?”
“I use mostly Midjourney so far. For my next project, I’ve started to use Stable Diffusion. I want to keep exploring and learning. The tools are getting better and better.”
“We are super early in this AI technology. AI is an incredible new tool in an artist’s tool kit.”

Kika Nicolela´s quotes
“When Mijourney came out, I was blown away. I always wanted to work with Surrealistic images and suddenly I had this amazing tool to do anything I could imagine I could do with it. It is a bit the way I work with actors, I love to talk a lot with them and give them instructions but also leave them free to create and give me something not exactly what I meant but almost there. It is really a dialog and co-creation and I like to improvise. From the beginning, I loved the idea of prompting. I love the imperfection of this communication with AI. It feels like the AI does not want to talk to you or work with you. Some days nothing really interesting comes out. It is really like the actor who has bad days. On other days suddenly everything works well and is beautiful. I fall in love with this process.”
“With this tool, I can go in so many different directions. The style is needed for the market. For me, this is a trap I do not want to get into. I have a film project, and an installation project, I do the exploration around it. The same way I work with AI.”
“I take a long time creating and prompting. I produce a huge amount of images. After 2–4 weeks I go back to it after working to organize the series.”

Rocketgirl´s quotes:
“I remember laying in bed and I thought I should try Midjourney. The next thing I knew I did have COVID and I was painting on my AI backgrounds. I created a whole new series in about a week after that. It was entirely by accident. I have a few friends who have physical disabilities. It is such a wonderful tool. I could not stand and oil paint, but I was able to use Midjourney and prompt away.”
“I am a writer too. It is fascinating that I could combine both, the stuff in my head, and the words in my head. This revolutionized by practice.”
“I create a liminal space of all possibilities with technology. There are a lot of artists who I look to for inspiration. Mostly it comes from walks around the city. I live in Edinburgh. I go for a run, I go for a walk. Plenty of red wine as well.”
