German photographer refused first place Sony World Photography Awards World Organization for Photography, because its image was completely created artificial intelligence.
Boris Eldagsen he won first place in the Creative category, but turned down the $5,000 prize, a Sony camera, and a trip to London because he knew he was cheating from the start. What was your goal?
The image of the controversy
Eldagsen sent in an image titled “Electrician”. The photograph showed a portrait of two women in some ancient photographic process.
However, the photo is part of a series called PSEUDOMNESIA: fake memories On which Eldagsen has been working since 2022 and which is completely created artificial intelligence.
“Using the visual language of the 1940s, Boris Eldagsen he produces his images as false memories of a past that never existed, that no one photographed. These images were created with language and edited 20 to 40 more times with AI image generators combining “inner paint”, “outer paint” and “quick whisper” techniques, the collection says.
The jury of the competition did not notice this detail and simply awarded him the first place in the category.
made manifest
When the winners of the open competition were announced on March 14, Eldagsen shared his thoughts on winning and AI on his blog.
“For me, working with AI imagers is a collaborative work in which I am the director. It’s not about pressing a button, that’s all. It’s about learning the complexity of this process, starting with refining text prompts, then developing a complex workflow and mixing different platforms and methods. The more you create this type of workflow and define the parameters, the bigger your creative side will be,” he says.
Eldagsen says he refers to his work as “images” rather than “photographs” because they are “synthetically produced using ‘photographic’ as a visual language.”
Eldagsen added a note to his website informing him that he was refusing the award. In an open letter to the organizers of the competition, the artist explained that it was all an experiment and an attempt to speed up the conversation on this topic.
“Images intelligence artificial and photography should not compete with each other for such an award. These are different entities. AI is not photography. Therefore, I will not accept the award.”
Eldagsen writes that the whole incident showed that the art world was not ready for the rapid development of imaging technology. artificial intelligence, who burst onto the scene this year thanks to projects like Midjourney and DALL-E. The World Photographic Organization has yet to make a public statement about Eldagsen’s victory and the ensuing controversy.
