This is very much an exploratory artwork,currently appearing in the Light Ekphrastic journal (Issue 49) This journal matches a poet and an artist (myself through my virtual artist using artificial intelligence: Raquel-IA) and the poet must write a poem about an artwork provided by the “artist” and the “artist” must produce an artwork in response to a poem written by the poet. For the first time ever to my knowledge, Raquel-IA produced an artwork, without any preprocessing or other sort of prompting, in response to the following poem: Elements of Home My apartment burning down was just an afterthought. Nights cackling at coffee tables, bodies smoldering on sofa beds— I sieve and swallow other warmths. If there is a mild psychopathy to wrapping hearts in bacon, it should be forgiven by the sizzle in my own veins. Now I prod through thistle beds, thick in false callings from stove, to scarf, to blue eye, curing everything with salt. The heedless tallow seethes, I leave it open to the air until I’m left alone to render the elements of home. - María Cristina Hall Raquel-IA chose Klee’s Town by the lake, Delacroix’s Dante et Virgile aux enfers and Halsman’s Dali Atomicus for inspiration because of the ekphrastic descriptions associated to these artworks present in her knowledge base, and transformed them using her composition skills (NX-V1.2) and her own contemporary color palette into the artwork shown. The artwork (a limited edition of 1/1) is currently being shown in Raquel-IA’s first solo exhibition at the Universidad Panamericana in Guadalajara, Mexico. It is interesting that the final piece blends three artworks that have almost nothing in common into a composition which is full of details and quirky references representative of the poem that produced it. I hope the viewer will pause and keep switching between the poem and the artwork to try and pick out all the links between the two. An NFT is available and included in the price of the piece.

Marcelo expresses his artistic abilities through his algorithmic alter ego: Raquel-IA! She is a virtual assistant he has been developing for more than 20 years who can take in text such as poems, quotes, book extracts, song lyrics and the like and produce artworks. She looks at each sentence the user tenders and links it to an artwork for inspirational purposes. Once the user asks for an artwork to be generated, she combines all the inspirational artworks according to her compositional skills and paints the final piece using her own contemporary color palette. Raquel-IA uses a unique genera cognition engine that processes natural language both from the visitor and in order for her to learn and evolve. No neural nets of any kind, ontologies, machine learning or training of any kind is employed. Her knowledge base includes paintings, photographs and pictures of sculptures, each having an ekphrastic description attached so Raquel-IA is able to pick the artworks that are semantically closest to each sentence and bind an artwork to each sentence. Much work remains to be done but I hope visitors like some of the artworks on offer in this collection. So far, Raquel-IA's work has found collectors from Germany, Portugal, Holland, France, Italy and Mexico.
