Artist shares AI collage workflow: externalizing imagination to iterative selection
snikolov · x · 2026-10-22
Artist snikolov describes his AI-assisted composition workflow: instead of crafting precise brush strokes, he takes low-degree-of-freedom actions — dragging two images side by side, aligning their boundaries, saving the ones he likes — and feeds them into the next iteration, "surfing the manifold of iterated collaging."
The core insight: externalize imagination to the dynamics of the process itself. Compelling composition shifts from effortful construction on a blank canvas to "I know it when I see it" selection — a replicable human-AI co-creation framework of constrained actions plus curatorial filtering.
