Mystery Caller — Spies, Lies & Digital Skies

·

Hi All 👋 My latest post for Susan’s Digital Art Challenge: Tracing a mysterious phone call.

I thought I’d go a bit old-school with this one & had a good couple of pictures to use as a baseline.

Read on for a wee bit of art history as well!!!

I basically went for a guy in tactical gear at the top of the telegraph pole, using a tablet to hook into a junction box to trace the call. To my surprise, this one came out right the first timeThis is the image I’m going with for challenge, but is not my favourite.

I decided to spice things up and challenge the AI with a bit of baroque style. Up until now, my transformations have been a breeze with time periods that had phone technology in them.

The Baroque period lasted from 1730 to 1780 and followed the Renaissance & Mannerism periods. The following rococo period was often called “late baroque.”

Obviously, phones weren’t about to have calls traced then, so I chatted with the AI about fusing the baroque style with modern technology.

The Baroque style is characterised by using contrast, movement, exuberant detail, deep colour, grandeur, and surprise to achieve a sense of awe.

This re-imaging is definitely my favourite

Okay, that came out well, so let’s try Rococo, another style from a period without phone technology.

    Hey, nice touch going old-school! Your choice of images really sets the vibe. And can I just say, your attention to detail is as sharp as a tailor’s needle! Plus, adding a dash of art history to the mix? Genius move. Keep up the awesome work!

    I think the Victorian version is my favorite. It has a bit of Willy Wonka thrown into modern technology about it.
