In 1816 Georg Friedrich Schinkel designed the stage setting for a production of Mozarts "Die Zauberflöte". The published print of the design for the hall of stars of the Queen of the Night's palace graced the cover of a recording of the opera by Herbert von Karajan. My father gifted me this recording when I was a kid. I could dive into this image for hours, mesmerized by the music and the powerful image on the cover. Here are some images of alternative "Zauberflöte" stage designs. The last image is Schinkel's rendering of the Hall of Stars.... Still more powerful than anything Midjourney, and my poor imagination, could come up with. #neural_architecture #aiarchitecture #midjourneyart #midjourney #diffusionmodels #newparadigm #machinelearning #diffusion_model #disco_difussion #stablediffusion #aiarchitects #posthuman #postdigital #architecture #architecturedesign #ontology #epistemology #gpt3 #open_ai #archdaily #archinect #archilovers #architecturedesign #estrangement #defamiliarization #ostranenie (at Vienna, Austria) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck8Wa8suDeQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
