“Hybrid Species” showcases Hummel’s expertise in digital tools, using a range of software including Adobe Photoshop, Adobe AfterEffects, Maxon Cinema4D, Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, and Adobe Firefly. The project’s 4K resolution (4096x4096px) ensures that viewers can appreciate the intricate details of each floral creation. Hummel’s AI-integrated workflow allows for a dynamic and iterative process, with designs evolving through the delicate balance of human intention and machine randomness. By tapping into AI’s potential, Hummel has expanded his artistic capabilities, producing flora that feels both synthetic and authentic, rooted in nature but reborn through technology.
