Initial Ideas Over the Christmas break, we were told to think about what topics we were the most interested in and to think of ways of making it into a major project. In the last term we were exposed to many interesting possible avenues to explore such as learning how to use AI, virtual reality,Continue reading “Week One”

We learnt in this lecture about the history of AI and how the technology has developed until today. We covered how Alan Turing (one of the fathers of AI) questioned whether computers could think, whichContinue reading “Creative AI”

Cryptoart & NFT’s

Crypto art falls into the blockchain technology category alongside NFT’s (non-fungible tokens). They both can be created through algorithms and be sold online. Every new ‘piece’ of art created is stored on a digital ledger which is where you can collect your artefacts, and then are sold and your money is collected on ‘wallets’ suchContinue reading “Cryptoart & NFT’s”
