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.

If you’ve seen any of my other posts, you’ll know that I’m not going to just stop nowSo here we go; steampunk/cyberpunk fusion first.

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

Baroque/Modern fusion

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