UrbanAI Art: Toward Artist-Driven AI Art

UrbanAI Art is based on the concept of artist-driven artificial intelligence (AI) art. Acknowledging the potential of AI, artists use their work as input, and they manage the overall concept and production of artist-oriented, concept-oriented, and unique artwork. Hence, each artist-driven AI art piece is distinctive and original. UrbanAI Art by Jussi Lahtinen is based on his Metropolis series (2015–) and is built from code that he developed together with game designers at Moido Games, especially Henri Sarasvirta. UrbanAI Art was released in spring 2023, and has since been screened at major events in Europe.
