Three concentric circles against a backdrop of stars. This work shows an AI's interpretation of the single word prompt "Cosmos".

The Spacecraft Agency
NASA

An elegant and simple prompt. Two words...


"spacecraft" and "cosmos"


What would DALL-E imagine?


"Cosmos", together with its mirror artwork "Spacecraft" is the first AI-generated artwork in space. These works are part of an artistic research into the unbiased hallucinations of early Large Language Models (LLM's). By providing the chatbot only a single word prompt, the resulting image is disconnected from any human bias or input, resulting in a 'pure' artificial concept.


Together with its sister work "Spacecraft", this diptych is part of the TechEdSat-11 group art project organised by the The Spacecraft Agency. The NASA TechEdSat-11 spacecraft containing the art project was launched on July 3rd 2024 onboard a Firefly Alpha rocket as part of the 'Noise of Summer' mission.
