What Dreams May Come

 Eclectic & Ever-Changing are the first words you see when arriving on AI Dreams in Art, the new sim by Karima Hoisan featuring art by Dale Innis. A bold promise, you might say, but Karima isn't the kind of person who over-promises, and this build lives perfectly up to expectations.

At this point, pretty much everybody on Discord has tried their hand at MidJourney, with varied results.  Admired and despised in about equal measure of passion, millions of words have already been spent on its place in the art world, so there's no point in rehashing all that. 

What counts here is the inspiration, and by that, not just the word choice by Dale Innis that elicited the images, but also the fabulous way the images have been set, like jewels in a splendid jewel-box, in discrete galleries in collaboration with the wonderful Karima Hoisan.

There are 'families' of images here, similar iterations of a concept sometimes followed through to more intricate extensions, sometimes starkly lovely in their simplicity. As you know, MidJourney depends on not only words, but a certain order of words and some specific terms to make a certain kind of image. 'Ultra detailed' , 'Dali',  'cute', or 'soft lighting' for example will produce very different results (here is a well known Midjourney prompt cheat sheet of terms that may result in a more efficient meeting of the minds between you and the computer). In terms of creating gallery spaces to hold the art, these families can comfortably occupy homes of their own, beautifully apposite in every case. The building shown below, for example, has a cozy fireplace and elegant modern seating,  and a wraparound upper terrace echoing perfectly the teal and gold of many of the pictures.

A little further down the sim you will find a collection of 'woman with snake' pics that are framed by a wild, slightly sinister Eden, a gemmed and gleaming forest clearing with its own poses, where one supposes, one might find oneself on the cusp of the full intent of the Fall.

In a nearby villa, immaculate in elegant grey, a set of black and white pictures, restrained and refined, with a timeless Arabic accent, adorn the walls.

A stone's thrown from the house is a park, a riot of color from the flowers to the fireworks to the foliage, all blissfully blending with the psychedelic sensuality of the canvases. How much do you bet that mushrooom's magic.

This post shows only a handful of the collections. They are so carefully curated, forming an exquisite and eminently walkable exposition on sim Ai Dreams, that it would be a shame to show them all. You ought to visit for yourself, for the first hand experience is a delight. The paintings are free to copy, a very nice touch, so you can have souvenirs of the trip and a beautiful addition to your home, no matter what style it may be - Dale has you covered!

Last but very far from least is the twilight woodland setting for a set of 'dark youth' portraits. brought to life with the help of a little custom Kim Starr animesh, and by some distant creepy movement that makes you hypersensitive if you visit alone. 

What is that out there between the dark trunks? Be brave and power through, and you will be rewarded with stills of highly desirable goth-steam-punky jewelry, and just for fun a very scary looking dolly. Chucky's sister, perhaps, and why not. It's only two weeks until Halloween.
