The Beauty of Community

Create Art, Build Community

Showcasing Community Through AI Art

This campaign engages the community in an art contest using AI generation to showcase the culture and aesthetics of the neighborhood. Participants will incorporate local styles, symbols, and perspectives into AI-generated artworks that capture the essence of the community.

Workshops will provide access to AI art platforms and guide participants through techniques like prompt engineering to imbue creations with cultural themes. Submissions will be evaluated by community members based on criteria like resonance with the neighborhood's identity and artistic merit.

Displaying the artworks locally and digitally will nurture community pride and cohesion. Applying artwork to products to be sold online can additionally empower creators through digital ownership and economic incentives.

Overall, this campaign aims to expand artistic possibilities by democratizing AI while ensuring it reflects community values. It provides equitable access to technology and channels it toward amplifying cultural stories. In this way, AI becomes a tool for community self-expression and actualization.

Note: The images on this page are examples of generative AI art. AI art generation has continued to improve since these images were created.

Digital art and remix culture?

Digital art can be compared to remix culture in many ways. Both digital art and remix culture involve taking existing materials and transforming them into something new and unique. This can include elements of visual arts, music, film, and other forms of media. Both digital art and remix culture also often involve the use of technology and the sharing and distribution of new works through digital channels. 

The goal of both digital art and remix culture can be to express creativity, comment on the world, or bring attention to certain issues or subjects.

What is the Holon City Platform?

We live in an era of accelerating change. New tools are required to empower communities to create sustainable economies, become stewards of their shared future, and unlock their collective potential.
