Two Scenes, Thirty-Nine Lenses: the Media Factory Lens Experiment
We took two photographs — a dusk field, a summer beach — and re-imagined them thirty-nine ways. So how well did it perform? Two experiments, 41 treatments, 215 unique renders, 81 accepted finals, produced in one continuous window of about an hour and thirty-eight minutes. The bill for the entire campaign: roughly one dollar of rendering compute, plus about five dollars for the AI staff doing the work — under six dollars, all-in. No studio day, no briefing round-trips, no retouching queue, no stock licences: the price of a decent lunch for a gallery of eighty-one vision-checked images. #AIart #GenerativeArt #AIAgents #MediaFactory #DigitalArt #Vaporwave #Cyberpunk #Steampunk
