Abstract
2023 was an original year, with global humanity emerging from a deadly pandemic (COVID-19), facing the advent of artmaking generative AIs, and surviving in a time of geopolitical turmoil, economic and financial pressures, and social strife. What role does an online social network (built up around an artmaking generative AI platform) play for people in this present moment? How does the remote virtual community enable participants to seek various fulfillments? The web-facing Deep Dream Generator tool and platform has proven itself to be a powerful social space for many with rich immersions and remote social interactions. This work is a practice-led case study.
