Assignment Four

Assignment Four: Digital Identities 1

Develop a project around the theme of identity within the current digital climate. This could be
an autobiographical exploration examining how you relate to digital culture, or it could be a
more critical examination of an aspect of digital culture.

Introduction: 

I struggled at first with which direction to pursue with this assignment, finally deciding to look at identity as a critical examination in today's climate. As a man approaching 60 in just over a year, I've been fortunate to know what it was like growing up in an environment without the same level of technology as it is today. With this in mind, I researched digital identity in several ways.

  • Technological Advances
  • Social Considerations
  • Statistical Analysis

Using information gathered from these area's I considered producing a series of portraits dipicting my own Scottish culture digitally using AI.

The Final Result

Conclusion: 

The result was positive as the first attempt at producing an AI-generated image and combining various methods to achieve this. On the negative side, the image looked stereotypical, which is expected from a Scottish perspective, for example, tartan fabric and an orange beard with some electronics in the background. It was created several months ago, and AI has progressed by leaps and bounds since I first applied it. If I revisited and entered the same data, the results would be more lifelike and less noticeable.
