Art # My AI art Before I explain AI, I try it out myself, and my favourite place to do that is where there are no rules: in my own art. I have loved painting for as long as I can remember, and today I create images and films with AI. Every time, I learn something that later flows into my training. ## Works and awards (Bild: Zurich's Bahnhofstrasse with columns like solar blossoms, trees and green islands instead of concrete) ### Zurich’s Bahnhofstrasse What if solar cells opened like blossoms, followed the sun and closed when it rains? In my film, Bahnhofstrasse becomes a city that no longer overheats: with columns that spray cool mist, a water cycle connected to Lake Zurich and green islands where there is concrete today.

In the second part, a woman wears the wings of the Apollo butterfly, a butterfly from the Alps, not far from my home. Its colours fade until only the red eyespots are still glowing.

By now there are 78 releases with 143 songs, and you can find them all in one place: as CDs to swipe through, one click to listen, and some songs with a music video. [Listen to my music →](https://www.ejaiminds.com/en/music) ## What this has to do with you With every work there are rounds where the AI gets it wrong: a third hand, a doubled face, a herd that refuses to walk. I find these mistakes because I look closely, and that is exactly what I show you too. So you can tell the AI what you want and recognise when the result is really right.
