Prompt your person

Prompt Your Person challenges you to write a prompt that captures the essence of your favourite person. It invites you to go beyond visual descriptions to prompt portraits that convey how and why you love them.

Generative AI often creates stereotypical images of people—depicting leaders as men, hyper-sexualized Asian women, aggressive Blacks, or beauty as smooth skin and symmetrical faces. These tropes are not only damaging but fail to reflect how we see our loved ones. Describing someone in purely physical terms overlooks their aura and the deeper, emotional connection we feel to them—the warmth of their hug, the joy of their laugh.

A collaboration with The Hmm and AIxDESIGN and funded by SIDN fund, this project aims to develop an interactive tool that helps people grasp and subvert the unrealistic perfection of AI-generated images. The journey includes research and the design and build of an interactive experience, culminating in a presentation at the "Poetics of Prompting" exhibition at MU Hybrid Art House during Dutch Design Week and from October 4 to November 24, 2024.
