Up next on the Artful Intelligence mini-series is Elise Swopes, a trailblazing visual artist and educator blending AI with photography. Currently an evangelist for Adobe, Elise has been a creative force since the early days of Instagram, crafting surreal visuals for brands such as adidas, McDonald's, Casamigos Tequila, and Sony. But her journey hasn’t been without challenges. From online harassment to personal struggles, she’s faced adversity with resilience, using her art to shape a brighter, more inclusive future. Here’s a preview of the episode; full episode in the comments below:
The phrase “Bully to you” (or similar expressions like “Bully for you”) was famously used by Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States. Roosevelt often used “bully” as a term of praise or approval, meaning “excellent” or “splendid.” It reflected his enthusiastic and vigorous personality. He would say phrases like “Bully for you!” to commend someone’s actions or accomplishments, and he referred to the presidency as a “bully pulpit,” meaning a great platform to advocate for his ideas and policies. His use of “bully” gave the word a positive and affirming connotation during his time.
That the ticket! Reid knows it. It that light you see flash . Then you get this. True Brillance! Thank you Elise ! We are Swoped away!
Her ability to turn challenges into art that fosters inclusivity and innovation is a testament to her resilience and vision. 🙌
The power of art. The power of visual storytelling. The power of circles. Add them together = a new power of communication.
Great perspective.
I'm excited to see how Elise Swopes combines AI with photography! Her journey and resilience are inspiring, and I can't wait to learn from her experiences.
Reid Hoffman Sir It is very sad that the IT Assistant., who has been working in the Education Department of Delhi Government for the last 5 months, is not getting the salary. This is a violation of fundamental rights and comes in the category of crime. Salary is not a charity, it is a right. Do not harass the weak, you are fat. Without Iron can be destroyed by the breath of the tongue.
Art is as much about resilience as it is creativity, Reid Hoffman
Love how Elise has combined technology and art to create visuals that are not only stunning but also meaningful.
