Exploring the intersection of generative AI and art, a course at Northern Kentucky University introduced students to the wonders of AI-driven content creation. Generative AI, particularly text-to-image systems like DALL-E by OpenAI, can produce entirely new visual creations from simple text prompts. In an ambitious project, students in the course decided to use this technology to visually recreate cherished memories from the alumni of Southgate Street School. Using tools like Midjourney, they transformed historical prompts into evocative AI-generated images, culminating in a book titled "The Legacy of Southgate Street School". This initiative not only celebrated the school's history but also showcased the vast potential of AI in the realm of art and its ability to bridge the past with the future.
This series is based on the book "The Legacy of Southgate Street School, Preserving a Landmark of the Black History of Newport, Kentucky",
