The idea

Combine a modernist, abstract sculptor with the hero persona of a rabbit

DALL-E pulls references from open source image digital image libraries, called image datasets, containing millions of images of all styles. It also pulls data from associated contextual descriptions and labels.

These contextual descriptions can include anything from the name of the object in the picture, the name of the artist, references to art movements, colors, composition, artistic style, textures, location, time of day, expressions, positions, focal points, directions, and generative style references.

Even though the output is a pixel-based image, language prompts are the foundation for AI image creation. Thus, sculptural style attributes lend themselves well for defining the shape and render of the hero persona/object.

The modern sculptural world

Sculptors and their creations are all around us. Go to any park, big city public space, lobby, or train station, and you will, in all likelihood, see many beautiful, modern sculptural art works.
