This workshop will participants to text to image generators like Dalle 2, MidJourney, and Stable Diffusion. These new tools allow users to generate stunning images -from surreal and fantastical dreamscapes to photorealistic portraits or film stills- with simple text prompts. Composing the right prompt, however, has emerged as its own kind of craft. This workshop is a way to showcase the artistic elements of prompt composition alongside the new technologies themselves and to encourage encourage discussion, in our community, around the social and ethical issues that arise with increased access to systems that generate synthetic media.
