Renowned primarily for his mastery of photography, Tadder embarked on a daring exploration into the realm of artificial intelligence image generation in January 2023. Viewing AI as a revolutionary tool for artistic expression, Tadder sees boundless potential in this controversial medium, transcending the confines of traditional photography. Unlike photography, which often involves a collaborative effort and a separation between vision and reality, AI grants Tadder unrestricted creative freedom, allowing him to manifest his wildest imaginings with precision.

Tadder’s AI art collection, tailored exclusively for Fontainebleau Las Vegas, is a testament to his ingenuity and versatility. Drawing from his background in commercial photography and advertising, Tadder meticulously crafted a visual narrative that pays homage to the iconic Fontainebleau brand’s storied history while embracing its exciting new chapter in Las Vegas. The series seamlessly blends elements of vintage elegance, Art Deco sensibilities, and a dreamlike desert oasis ambiance, evoking a sense of nostalgia tinged with an otherworldly allure. Each piece exudes a whimsical yet slightly disquieting aura, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in Tadder’s surreal world of possibilities.

Despite the diverse range of subjects and compositions, the collection maintains a cohesive aesthetic characterized by a harmonious color palette and a deliberate absence of direct eye contact. Pastel hues and muted rainbows infuse each scene with a sense of ethereal beauty, while the lack of eye contact invites viewers to become active participants in the narrative, fostering a deeper connection with the artwork.
As with any emerging technology, the integration of AI into the art world has sparked debates about authorship and the evolving nature of creativity. Yet, Tadder’s bold experimentation exemplifies the symbiotic relationship between art and technology, pushing the boundaries of conventional artistic expression. Much like the skepticism faced by photography in its infancy, Tadder’s AI art heralds a new era of innovation and creativity, challenging preconceived notions of what constitutes art.
