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

Cosmos

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.
