Neowin needs a member art gallery


Recommended Posts

Neowin really needs a member art gallery where members can post all their desktop screens, and all the art that they have built.. a link to their site.. a little bit about them etc...

I think that doing something like that would be really good for neowin.. and make it easy to link to art and walls etc done on neowin.. instead of linking to DA...

cheers

:)

there is also a photography thread floating around in general afaik

I think its fine as it is, adding a gallery would probably be a bit of overkill, its better to have things in their proper place ;)

That and to host all those images would be crazy on this server...imagine the bandwidth.

i'd be nice but it would take neowin away from it's idea. neowin is still a tech site and not a graphics community like deviantart, i suppose the threads are more than enough imho.

for the links to your site, neowin has a top site list no?

Personally I think those threads still belong to their respective places. No need a special forum for that.

Were those in your favorite bookmarks? :p

I agree with Enigma. And you can add a personal photo in your profile.

Also, with a gallery, it is its own seperate place. So say for example someone makes wallpapers. But you might not like his/her works or just don't like seeing wallpaper like threads in the new posts list. If someone keeps there works in a gallery, you won't have to search thru new threads in the new posts list. It'll be in it's own area you won't ever have to bother seeing unless you choose to enter it.

Nope.. but a little research never hurt anyone ;) I knew they all existed and simple scan over the board pointed me where I needed to go. Thats one of the reasons I actualy posted all that, if you follow a logical order you'll find everything you need here at neowin (Y)

btw my bookmarks consist of Hardware Hangout and Overclocking and PC Modding ;)

Yeah it was already stated that Neowin consumes on average 40TB of data a month, these pictures would really add to that consumption. I can see your concern that you would want some way of finding the image easier, but since they are seperated into their own threads like that, it's really not that hard. On a query sense, though, it would be nice to be able to search for a particular image by a particular user, and not have to sift through the whole thread. But that's is how forums work. :D

They do, usually at devart. Why duplicate that here?

Aye, indeed.

But the point the original starter is trying to make is having one here, so yea, it's not about duplicating. It's about trying something else new here. I'm sure we could've tried making our own version that wouldn't really appear as copying someone else.

I don't see that Neowin needs an art gallery. If you need to visit one, go to deviantArt.com. I see Neowin as a Computer Support Service and not a hosting service for members. Adding features or additional services might put an strain on Neowin's staff and resources if the admins intended Neowin as a support service.

    • This one baffles me...so they are creating a museum based around the Ship of Theseus? A museum is supposed to preserve things. It doesn't really work if the conversation goes, "I gazed upon Starry Night the other day, the colours were beautiful!" "Yeah...I didn't expect Godzilla to show up, though." Create a building devoted to displaying AI work, fine. The rainforest idea sounds interesting and I would consider visiting if they pay me a few bucks. But don't call it a museum...
    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
