'Using AI is the shortest distance between my ideas and a visual': inside the surreal AI art of Niceaunties
Briefly

The article discusses a user's journey into the world of AI-generated art through Midjourney, where the author found an innovative way to express ideas visually. After discovering this technology, the author created an Instagram project called 'Niceaunties', which explores auntie culture and community stories through imaginative visuals. Initially starting with a Club 33 concept in space, the project evolved into a diverse representation of personal memories and community dynamics, reflecting growth in both technology and creative quality over time.
Using AI to create ideas and visuals feels like the shortest distance between my thoughts and their visual representation - a personal revolution for my creativity.
I wanted a big umbrella story arc for my posts, so I conceptualized 'Niceaunties' to reflect the often-undiscussed auntie culture in our lives.
The project transformed from Club 33 in outer space to a rich tapestry depicting auntie life. It became about storytelling, community, and personal memory.
In the early days of AI image creation, I had to learn the technology’s lingo, which evolved the quality of my work significantly over two years.
