Architectral designer Kaveh Najafia used the artificial intelligence (AI) program Midjoey to recreate the Palace of Versailles in the series titled “Flying Versailles”. These residences are decorated with feathers and gold facades. The series is part of an iterative process or experiment. This is done through text prompts that are carefully tweaked to become more accurate.
Kaveh Najafia sees the Versailles palace as the main facade to experience, as it is the epitome of decorative architecture in Europe and the peak of the French Baroque. As Midjoey has a heavy database of references for Versailles, it serves as an “attractive habitat’ for the AI software. Additionally, the sheer amount of material gives a solid base for the software to work with. The details of the facades and the interiors are in harmony with the artistic language of the p-scaled featres of Midjoey V3, the text-to-art AI generator, which helps to produce accurate results.
