Monochrome x Generative AI x Photography
chaipeau uses his creativity, technology skills, and imagination to produce generative artworks that are meant to be aesthetically pleasing to push the boundaries of monochrome photography and produce generative works that are truly one-of-a-kind.

Look at this. Started beginning of this year, sits at home generating unreal landscapes in monochrome with an AI engine, sells it in his webshop. 80k followers within a few months. More than many landscape photographers working their craft for decades.
Could this mean a further pressure point for 45k digital backs, the genre of landscape photography, workshops, etc.? Why travel to Iceland and do the Xth iteration of the icelandic volcano if you can just generate, generate, generate. Insane, a bit, IMHO.
Kind of scary how the concept of landscape photography is turned upside down here – I guess for a lot of people this is good enough to print and frame at home.
One can literally create 100 images per day like this and a chock full webshop within two weeks.
Crazy times. Subversive.
Yet, I feel I have seen all these images a hundred times on instagram already.

His stuff is great, but looks outright boring compared to this generative guy. But does this "unrealness" matter to the broader world? Would you hang something generative like that in your room? I am leaning towards why not ...
