NAMI is a short-form generative AI collection developed using a multi-modal approach. Each wave flows from natural language to image to animation through a process that integrates two generative AI models.
nami is a noun meaning ‘wave(s)’ in Japanese.
The idea for NAMI arose during a late-night creative exploration while tinkering with various generative AI outputs. Geometric waves were the focus. However, a spontaneous output appeared that was naturally depicted and composed with a feeling of familiarity.
It resembled The Great Wave of Kanagawa, a woodblock print by Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai, created in late 1831. The print depicts three boats navigating through a storm-tossed sea, with a large wave in the center and Mount Fuji visible in the background.
Through this spontaneous output, with inspiration from Hokusai, NAMI was born and constructed over a three month period using generative AI image and animation tools.
