AN INTRODUCTION TO THE IMAGES ON THE THREE MAIN CONCERT PAGES. This year's theme, explained more on the "News" and "About the Site" pages, focuses on images produced by AI-powered text-to-image generators. For those who are not familiar with the programs, they are online-based AI systems which generate an image from text input into the system. There are several systems, among them DALL-E, Midjourney and the one from which most of this site's images were generated, the ImagineArt art generator, found at www.imagine.art. The two images above, which took just seconds to be generated, were (on the left) from the text "a perfect woman," and (on the right) from the text "a perfect white woman with light brown hair and green eyes wearing a bright pink sweater, white pants and black shoes, sitting on a wooden park bench under a blooming cherry tree." While the fact that these AI images generators exist is remarkable, and the results can be spectacular, they are not without their inconsistencies. Look, for example at the top slat on the bench on the picture on the right. It does not align properly in the area behind the woman's back. What is being included on the COUNTY "Concerts by City," COUNTY "Concerts By Date" and "Concert by Type of Music" pages is a narrative with and about the images produced over several weeks in May and June of this year from the ImagineArt text-to-image generator. The generator used was the first-generation one; their second generation (V2) generator is now available and sits in the primary position on the log-in page. What was the purpose? When I started, the purpose was simply to find the system's reaction to the word "perfect" attached as a modifier to as simple an additional word as possible. In some cases a few extra words were added where necessary (which will be explained more in the text below and on the other pages). For consistency, only one text-to-image generator was used to try to understand how that particular AI system "thinks," particularly for a word expressing a concept which even most humans might not agree upon. The images perhaps might generate a bit of discussion and debate. To follow the entire narrative, begin on the county "Concerts By City" pages, which includes images primarily of people, then go to the county "Concerts By Date" pages, which include images of a variety of other things. For a bit of fun, the "Concerts By Type of Music" page concludes with images the system displayed for bands, ie a perfect rock band, a perfect country music band, a perfect mariachi band, etc.

There will be live music, food and craft vendors, altar displays (ofrendas) and activities for childen. Information: (626) 570-5081 or www.cityofalhambra.org. September 21 - Alhambra Performing Arts Center Programs. The Alhambra Performing Arts Center, under the direction of chef/artistic director Bill Yee, will present El Festival Mexicano Alhambra with Las Damas de Oro Folklorico and Mariachi Canciones Mi Terra. The program will take place at 7 p.m. in the Sage Granada Park United Methodist Church, 1850 W. Hellman Drive. Seating is limited and on a first-come basis.

Information: (626) 798-6335 or www.altadenarotary.org.
One of the first things that I noticed in some of the images generated was the light tones of the people/things depicted: almost exclusively white-skinned and light-haired people (top left, "a perfect woman"); also "a perfect cat" (mostly white) and "a perfect dress" (mostly a very light peach/pink). Perfection in the "eyes" of this AI system appeared to be something quite bland. (The matter of double heads/bodies, as with the cat, will be addressed a bit further down the page.) After the cat images were generated I couldn't help wonder if maybe the AI system had been trained on too many Fancy Feast commercials, but then something else dawned on me. What is the objective, scientific nature of color and light? After thinking about light and color for the better part of the year while testing out infrared photography, I had to wonder what principles of color a computer might use to select one thing/color as being "perfect" over something else. If in terms of the science of light (to vastly simplify the subject), if white is the sum of all colors and black is the absence of color, then wouldn't white be more "perfect" than black? It's impossible to know, though it would be ever so interesting to dissect the decision chain on how the system produces one image rather than another. September 14 - Arcadia Moon Festival. The traditional Moon Festival is also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival. The event will take place from 5 - 8:30 p.m. at the Arcadia City Hall lawn, 240 W. Huntington Drive.

Although I didn't set out to dissect any of the images by race, all of the initial images for "A Perfect Man" and "A Perfect Woman" showed absoutely zero racial/skin color diversity. As a result, I decided to add a race modifier to each text phrase. Also, since virtually all of the "perfect" people wore little to no clothing, I was curious to see what these "perfect" people might actually look like when the AI system put clothes on them. So . . . all the searches were expanded, and the results are included below. The AI images above are from the text "A Perfect White Man." There is no information for Bell Gardens at this time.

A couple of other notes. First, the image here on the left appeared a few times in place of an image which should have been generated. Also, due to the number of families visiting this site, any images in which some type of nudity made it through the computer's "censor" have not been included. There were a number of times I found myself wondering "What makes that perfect?" about the images produced, or just "Huh?" It seems that to this AI system "perfection" in people involves youth, little clothing, great pecs in men and a significant bustline in women, while perfection in other things involves a good deal of symmetry. But for all of these images, remember one thing - they were produced by a computer AI system, and though we may judge them with all our human thoughts, feelings and opinions, that is not something (that as of yet) a computer is able to do.
