Read on to find out more.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tracing the Origins of AI on Acid<\/h2>\n<p>Dr. Oscar Janiger\u2019s interest in LSD started in 1953 when he first tried it while seeking medical uses for the powerful drug. Fascinated by its potential, he began a study to see how LSD affected creativity. From 1958 to 1962, his research attracted famous people like Aldous Huxley, Alan Watts, Jack Nicholson, Cary Grant, James Coburn, and Andre Previn. Under LSD\u2019s influence, these artists made paintings and drawings of a Native American Kachina doll \u2013 an image now used in Wexler\u2019s project.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A New Age of Psychedelic Art: Unlocking AI\u2019s Creative Power<\/h2>\n<p>Best known for his digitally enhanced photo compositions, <a href=\"https:\/\/glenwexlerstudio.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Glen Wexler\u2019s work<\/a> features improbable situations on hundreds of album covers, including Van Halen, Rush, Black Sabbath, and ZZ Top. His impressive body of work can be found in permanent collections at the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film, Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and Palm Springs Art Museum.<\/p>\n<p>In \u201cAI on Acid,\u201d Wexler uses a high-quality photo of the inspirational Kachina doll and references work from Dr. Janiger\u2019s research to guide the <a href=\"https:\/\/nftnewstoday.com\/2023\/04\/10\/ai-meets-nfts-a-new-frontier-for-digital-innovation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">AI-created art<\/a>. By choosing different AI-generated images and enhancing them in Photoshop, Wexler makes a striking mix of technology and psychedelia. The resulting art looks like the abstract, trippy creations of artists in Janiger\u2019s study but with a unique AI twist.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the project, Wexler said, \u201cAfter documenting nearly 300 works from the original study for a coffee table book, it\u2019s amazing to see AI create results that are unexpected, yet similar to the artists\u2019 abstract interpretations in Janiger\u2019s study, from colorful images to wild, trippy deconstructions. I realized that psychedelics bypass the ego and free the mind, leading to unusual neural connections and a changed view of reality. In the same way, AI, which probably has no ego, makes random connections using millions of data points. Over 60 years after the research project, it\u2019s interesting to see the Kachina Doll reimagined as a Yoda-like figure.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-lazyloaded=\"1\" title=\"PRAIonAcid4 NFT News Today\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nftnewstoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/PR-AI-on-Acid-4.jpg?resize=800%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"AI on Acid\" class=\"wp-image-68868\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nftnewstoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/PR-AI-on-Acid-4.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nftnewstoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/PR-AI-on-Acid-4.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nftnewstoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/PR-AI-on-Acid-4.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nftnewstoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/PR-AI-on-Acid-4.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Limitless Power of AI<\/h2>\n<p>Wexler\u2019s groundbreaking project shows us that AI\u2019s creative potential is limitless. By blending the endless inspiration of LSD-based art with AI\u2019s power, \u201cAI on Acid\u201d gives us a peek into a world of artistic adventure beyond human perception.<\/p>\n<p>Like the psychedelic experience that lets the mind make new connections and see reality differently, AI, free from ego, uncovers unique connections and ideas. Wexler\u2019s work is a stunning tribute to Dr. Janiger\u2019s research and proof of creativity\u2019s ever-changing nature.<\/p>\n<p>Nifty Gateway is a prominent digital art auction platform specializing in NFT art.
