The introduction of artificial intelligence to the world of art is quite controversial. While some believe that it diminishes the work done by real artists, others think it actually helps artists bring their vision to life in a better way. But regardless of the specter of the discussion you find yourself in, you will appreciate the works of digital artist and designer Norah Alsuairy.
Alsuairy, who is an avid sports fan, recently started an intriguing series of AI art that sees her place sports courts in the most surreal locations.
The series features basketball courts in deep mountain craters and underground caves, tennis courts surrounded by steep cliffs, and sports courts floating on the sea. They look so impressive that you’ll wish they were real and you can play a game, whether you like sports or not.
In most cases, Alsuairy’s works are set in real-life settings, with the ancient oasis city of al-Ula in her native Saudi Arabia being a particularly frequent source of inspiration.
‘This project embodies my passion for sports and my love for the stunning environment of AlUla, brought to life with the power of artificial intelligence,’ Alsuairy told designboom.
