My meter long #Retro-Futurist #Found-Object #LED-illuminated #rocket-ship #sculpture launches itself into #outer-space via an #AI #Image-to-Video program. This is what I had hoped to do with my sculpture endeavors. I wanted to create videos that starred my sculptures in short #adventures. #Art

My Corsair #Speedster #rockets into the atmosphere via AI #Image-to-Video #animation. I love what I'm #creating with the photos I've captured of my #Retro-Futurist #Found-Object LED illuminated #Sci-Fi #sculptures. A simple photo can offer one perspective of my work but this brings it to life! #Art

I stumbled upon an #AI #Image-to-Video #program that adds a #sound file to the mix.. I really enjoy the way that this one of my #Domeship #blasting off from its #landing bay turned out. #Art #Discover-Art #Retro-Futurist #Art-Sculpture #AI-Animation #Art-In-America #Outerspace-adventures #Futurism

My #Retro #Futurist #Found #Object #LED #illuminated #rocket #ship blasts off from the #planet with the help of #AI. #Art

#AI has even more #fun #animating my four #robots #Art #Discover-Art #Found-Object-Sculpture #LED-Iluminated-Sculpture #Retro-Futurist-Sculpture #Sci-Fi-Sculpture #Mixed-Media-Sculpture #Art-In-America #Metal-Sculpture #Art-Sculptor #R.R.-Meisler-Art #AI-Animation #AI-Image-to-Video-Animation

I used #AI to #animate these three #robots #communicating with one another. #Art #Discover-Art #Artwork #Art-In-America #Retro-Futurist-Art #Art-Sculpture #Metal-Sculpture #Mixed-Media-Sculpture #Sci-Fi-Art-Sculpture #Found-Object-Metal-Sculpture #Repurposed-Materials #Upcycled-Art #Retro-Futurism

I first created a photo that colored the #crystals. Then, I used that photo to create the #animation of the #eyelids moving. I had to be careful not to refer to this #robot's #eyes as "eyes." If I did, the #AI would interpret them as human type eyes. #Art #Art-In-America #Artwork #DiscoverArt #WIP

Finally! I got #AI #Image-to-Video to properly #animate the #three-legs, arms hands and #three-fingers of my #Retro-Futurist #LED-illuminated #Found-Object #metal #robot #sculpture. #Art #Art-In-America #Art-Sculpture #Robot-Art #Retro-Futurism #Sci-Fi-Fantasy #Art-Sculpture-by-R.R.-Meisler

Nailed it on the first try. I used an AI #Image-to-Video function, along with a text #prompt to create this 5 second video of my #Retro-Futurist #LED-illuminated #Found-Object #robot #sculpture. This #Mixed-Media #metal-sculpture is made of #repurposed-materials, many are #rare #vintage-parts. #Art

Working on #animating the movements of this #robot's #eyelids using #image-to-video #animation. I love that I'm able to use photos that I captured of my #LED #illuminated #Found-Object #Retro-Futurist #metal-sculptures this way. This is what I've wanted to do with this sculpture series. #Art #WIP

It took a while, but I finally got #AI to recognize that this #robot has three legs. While not perfect, I'm calling this one #close enough. #Art #Found-Object-Art #Art-In-America #Robot-Art #Retro-Futurist-Art-Sculpture #LED-illuminated-Art ##Repurposed-materials #AI-animation #Image-to-Video

After adjusting the prompt, I was able to achieve a much smoother take off for my #robot via its #hover-feet. I love that I'm being able to use still images of my #Retro-Futurist #Found-Object #LED #illuminated #metal #sculpture to #create #scenes and #animated #movement of my #artwork. #Art

I used #AI to #animate the #Retro #Futurist #LED #illuminated #robot #sculpture that I built from the unwanted discards of our throwaway society. It uses its #hover #feet to take #flight. This is only my second AI assisted #video but I really enjoy the results it's achieved. #Art #Discover-Art

I used #AI to create a background but didn't prompt it to animate my #robot. It did that completely on its own. I love what it achieved! #Robot-Art #Discover-Art #Art-Sculpture #Illuminated-Art #UFOS #Found-Object-Art #Art-In-America #R.R.-Meisler-Art #AI-Animation #Artwork #Unexpected-Results

I made some electronic and structural repairs to this #robot. It's working fine now.

My latest #robot design is coming along nicely. #Found-Objects #Retro-Futurist #Sci-Fi #Art #Sculpture #Mixed-Metal #Illuminated-Art #UFOS #Unidentified-Found-Object-Spacecraft #Art-In-America #RR-Meisler #Artist #Artwork #Discover-Art #Robots #Rocket-Ships #Flying-Saucers #Ray-Guns #W-I-P

Despite over 100 Earth years of literary, artistic, and film propaganda to the contrary, I want to assure the people of Earth that there is absolutely no documented evidence that robotkind holds any ill will toward humanity or has any interest in abducting the female members of your species. #art

This young performance artist used the bell of a bulb horn as a microphone. I was so amused by his unique approach to self-directed fun that I had to capture a few moments of it to share. #interactivefun #musicalfolkart #handsonart #funforkids #art #DiscoverArt #GadgetsForKids #selfdirectedfun

I provide mallets for children to use to explore the percussive sounds in my interactive musical playground but sometimes a hands-on approach is just as fun. #interactiveart #sonicplayground #creativeexploration #kidfun #realnoiseforgirlsandboys #thenoisemaker #art #music #fun #funforkids #handson

My Retro Futurist train is ready to roll down the tracks to Georgetown for Seattle’s Georgetown Carnival. Look for my interactive musical contraptions where S. Vale St. meets 12th Ave S. 12-6PM. #interactive #contraptions #art #music #fun #sonicplayground #realnoiseforgirlsandboys #thenoisemaker

After some minor upgrades and repairs my Retro Futurist Train Station is back on track to join my interactive sonic contraptions at Seattle’s Georgetown Carnival 6/14 12-6PM #retrofuturist #georgetowncarnival #trainstation #illuminatedart #art #foundobjects #upcycled #repurposed #soniccontraptions

This skull and crossed bones handled aluminum Halloween platter and this cast aluminum ingot of 40 skulls seem destined to be included together in a future spooky art project. #skulls #art #foundobjects #spooky #repurposed #upcycled #skullandcrossedbones #halloween #artproject #discoverart #artist

It's a beautiful thing to have created a series of interactive musical Folk Art contraptions that foster these sorts of reactions. Every time I share them, I'm in awe of the power they have to tickle the curiosity of children and motivate their self-expression. #art l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http...

HONK! Fest West day three. Mom squeezes bulb horn and asks her child, “What animal does that sound like.” Her child answers, “Butt.” LOL! #lol #honkfestwest #bulbhorns #interactiveart #musicalfolkart #foundsounds #repurposed #upcycled #funforkids #kidfun #childrensentertainment #gadgetsforkids #art

Makin some noise with my interactive musical Folk Art sonic playground of found sound contraptions ‘Gadgets For Kids’. Self-directed, all-inclusive, non-competitive, kid-tested, mother-approved, family-friendly fun. Willy Wonka meets Dr Seuss. #gadgets4kids #sonicplayground #willywonkaofnoise #art

Memorial Day weekend I shared my interactive musical Folk Art Gadgets For Kids sonic playground at a local Folk festival. Here’s a dad demonstrating his percussive prowess to his children. #percussion #fun4kids #gadgets4kids #interactive #sonicplayground #entertainmentalternative #forchildren #art

Though still early in the creative process of this build, I’m loving the look! Black and silver has a very Art Deco feel. I’m working on two other saucer projects. #flyingsaucer #artdeco #retrofuturist #foundobjects #metalsculpture #scifi #art #wip #rrmeislerart #silverandblack #artinamerica

I just stumbled upon the smaller of these two pieces. The larger one I found years ago. This flying saucer project will be among the next few builds that I focus on. #flyingsaucer #foundobjectart #retrofuturistart #scifiart #artwork #metalsculpture #illuminatedart #art #discoverart #repurposedart

My robot family portraits. Linked arm in arm in robotic brotherhood, they stand united against the tyranny of mankind’s worst self-destructive tendencies. #robots #robotsagainsttyranny #art #discoverart #artinamerica #illuminatedart #foundobjectart #redesigner #retrofuturistart #metalsculpture

And here’s what this Retro Futurist rocket ship looks like when lit up. I love the aura effect that the lightning makes as it reflects from nearby surfaces! #rocketship #spacecraft #foundobjectart #illuminatedart #redesign #upcycled #repurposed #mixedmediaart #metalsculpture #retrofuturistart #wip

I finalized the way that the upper and lower body parts connect. I rerouted the wiring for the lights. Tomorrow, I’ll add a power port, complete the wiring, and share some photos of it lit up. #rocketship #wip #art #illuminated #foundobjects #leds #retrofuturist #scifi #outerspace #ufos #blastoff

I’m working on this small rocket ship. I’m mounting three LEDs inside that will illuminate the three portholes and one more on the bottom to light up the main engine. #art #rocketship #foundobjects #retrofuturist #illuminatedart #repurposedmaterials #upcycled #mixedmedia #spacecraft #sculpture #3D

All of the wiring for this robot is done. I have just a couple of more things to do before I call this build finished. #robot #LEDs #illuminated #art #thematrix #foundobjects #metalsculpture #mixedmedia #retrofuturism #scifi #fantasy #upcycled #repurposed #artanddesign #artinamerica #robots #bots
