Five-model recreation of 109 Mad Bitcoins prompts — May 2026
MadArt 2026 Recreation is the May 2026 side-by-side study that takes 109 prompts from the MadArt archive and reruns them through five 2025–2026 image models — MidJourney v6 (reference), OpenAI gpt-image-1 (Plus, browser-driven), Google Gemini, Google AI Studio (gemini-2.5-flash-image / "nano banana"), and HuggingFace FLUX.1-merged. Outputs across all eleven Mad Bitcoins collections are laid out as a single comparison grid at /madart/2026/.
The project ships with ten critical essays — eight thesis pieces (three years of AI art, same prompt three eras, what MJ got that\'s gone, what 2026 does that 2023 couldn\'t, the cheerful problem, trademark theater, legible English everywhere, which model is more Mad Bitcoins?) plus two May-2026 companion essays (the recon rig, the pattern of repetition IS the work). Sister pages: Best of 2026, Trademark Refusals, Model Split. The pre-pilot model recon lives at /madart/2026/recon/.
