Graphic Novel #1

Octane Render

Free with Gold

Machine learning technology (A.I.) has been developed to the point where it can now roughly approximate the creative output of human writers and artists… …But what does this actually mean for those human writers and artists? Melbourne-based cartoonist David Blumenstein spoke to the Australian comics/illustration community about this, and decided to document their responses whilst posing further questions. Ostensibly this is a story about machine learning systems that make pictures, but really it’s about why society holds the desire to innovate around human artists. This is the revised and revisited second edition of the Comic Arts of Australia Award-winning non-fiction book by Squishface Studio co-founder David Blumenstein.
