KaliYuga

KaliYuga combines image-making with publicly shared tools for other artists. Code repositories and model experiments form an important part of the context for The Spaces Between Words.

A practice with public tools

KaliYuga’s public GitHub profile dates the artist’s AI work to 2020 and links projects associated with pixel art, watercolour and other visual approaches. Pixel Art Diffusion preserves multiple notebook versions, making the practice visible as an evolving set of experiments rather than one proprietary black box. This record matters beyond a single image: other artists can examine the tools and understand something of the choices that shape a model-assisted workflow. [1][2]

Captioning as part of image production

DreamBooth With Dataset Captioning documents a modified training workflow that pairs images with descriptive text. Its README credits earlier DreamBooth work and the BLIP captioning approach used in EveryDream; a 2023 changelog records ongoing changes. Such documentation makes collaboration and dependency visible in the software itself. These tools provide context for KaliYuga’s technical practice, but the evidence does not establish that this particular repository produced The Spaces Between Words. [3]

The Spaces Between Words

The BrainDrops series, released on 14 June 2023, turns towards memory, emotion and the difficulty of translating an inner experience into an image. Its mixed-media and collage-oriented language contrasts with the apparent precision of a software repository. Read together, the two sides of the practice are complementary: a documented tool can support images that remain ambiguous and personal. The title offers a way into that ambiguity, locating meaning in what cannot be completely stated rather than presenting the image as a literal illustration of a prompt. [4]

Collectors and attribution

Each series dossier links to the sampled wallets that hold it. A wallet holding the collective project All AI Art Looks The Same is not automatically counted as holding work by every participant. Token-level artist attributes are needed to make that more specific claim.

Artist names here are public release credits. Aliases and collaborations are resolved only where the credited record supports the relationship.
