Cybersecurity wall

A room-scale image built through AI seeds, desktop composition, physical printing, scanning, and AI-assisted enlargement.

Method disclosure / AI assisted

The source caption explicitly includes AI in the process. MidJourney supplied initial image seeds; Topaz Labs Gigapixel and ON1 Resize AI supported enlargement after a physical print-and-scan pass.

A 23 × 8-foot image in a cybersecurity setting

The public @sicxz post identifies the work as a 23-foot-wide by 8-foot-high wall at EWU Catalyst, in the cybersecurity department. Instagram displays the post date as September 2, 2025 in Pacific time.

The source gives both an installed scale and an unusually specific production chain, making the work legible as an image and as a sequence of transformations.

Seed → compose → print → scan → enlarge

The caption describes a hybrid workflow in which generative assistance is one part of a longer graphic-design process. The physical print-and-scan stages sit between desktop composition and final enlargement.

What the process makes visible

Observed media

The public image presents a continuous image field at wall scale, read in relation to the surrounding room rather than as a small framed object.

Source-stated process

The caption discloses generative seeds, Photoshop composition, small prints, high-resolution scans, and two AI-assisted enlargement tools.

Inference

The print-and-scan interlude can be read as a material translation layer: the final wall carries not only generated and composited imagery, but also the optical and physical consequences of moving out of and back into the computer.
