Théâtre d'Opéra Spatial

Théâtre d'Opéra Spatial is a painting created by Jason M. Allen using the generative Artificial Intelligence platform Midjourney.[1] The painting became a news story when it won the 2022 Colorado State Fair's annual fine art competition on 5 September, becoming one of the first AI generated images to win such a prize.[2][3]

Winning the fair's contest for “digital arts/digitally-manipulated photography” led to a backlash from artists who accused Allen of cheating.[4] Allen responded: "I’m not going to apologize for it. I won, and I didn’t break any rules.”[3]

The two category judges were unaware that Midjourney used AI to generate images, although they later said that had they known this, they would have awarded Allen the top prize anyway.[5]

The image, created using a text prompt, was upscaled using Gigapixel AI.[6]
