AI in portfolio

Basically I watched a really cool ted talk and have made some art using ai, I collage famous abstract artists work and turn them into close up biological images.
Would this be frowned upon in a portfolio when applying to fine art at uni?

If I was genuinely interested in this way of creating art surely they’d be ok with it

As long as you correctly cite your references and process to declare what and how AI was used in production that’s fine.
Have you tried collaging using physical prints of work as a contrast? That might be an interesting exercise.

Hey,

Fine Art admissions teams typically like seeing some diversity in applicant portfolios, so I don't necessarily think this would be frowned upon. As PQ said above, I would make sure to state the images have been created using AI - even if it's just a short caption citing the software and the original image. I've attended multiple AI art workshops during my time studying Fine Art here at Kingston, so it's definitely not off-limits from a creative stand point, it's just about framing it in the right manner. 🙂

Best of luck with your portfolio!
