This fast-paced workshop will focus on generating images of provocative spatial volumes (interior or exterior), along with effects and atmospherics utilizing surface, lighting, textures, materials, shape, etc.
This workshop will focus on four main themes: Materials, Space, Form, and Time. At the conclusion of each theme, we will document and produce a small, selected storyboard or matrix of results. Based primarily in Midjourney, these brainstorming studies will be generative and non-determinative seeds for further study.
Part of the value of using a diffusion model like Midjourney is getting unexpected interpretations of your ideas, things you might have never thought of, and that extend and challenge your imagination.
This workshop will emphasize generating the non-deterministic and surprising outcomes that Midjourney generates so well, the happy accidents, the counter-intuitive, and the uncanny, all focused on four types of effects: material, spatial, formal, and time-based.
For each of these four themes, we will follow an Information > Demonstration > Application sequence to generate brainstorming documentation in the form of a matrix/grid/storyboard.
