• Presentation

This workshop led by Jurģis Peters (Tampere University) and Līga Vēliņa (Art Academy of Latvia) offers hands-on experience in utilising Generative AI to enhance one’s own artistic practice. Participants will explore the broader relevance of visual AI technology within the digital art context, while learning essential concepts related to modern image generation tools. The hands-on segment will guide attendees through the installation and use of Stable Diffusion-based tool, ComfyUI. Through practice-led tutorials, creative briefs, and discussions, participants will gain an in-depth understanding of various Stable Diffusion models and LoRAas and how to develop customised, sophisticated workflows in ComfyUI. Additionally, they will explore more advanced image manipulation techniques, such as using TouchDesigner to guide AI image generation.
