AI-generated painting: The Moderately Infinite Zebra

The story

The zebra arrived on a Tuesday. It did not walk into the gallery; it simply occupied the wall, its body stretching into the adjacent rooms and out the front door. Visitors stood at the edges, waiting for it to move. It never did. The curator placed a bench underneath for those who wished to contemplate its length. No one knew where it began or ended. The zebra remained perfectly still, eating nothing, blinking occasionally, while the city grew around its ribs.

The brief

A zebra extends horizontally across a beige gallery wall, its stripes continuing past the left and right edges of the canvas. The animal stands still under flat fluorescent light in a white room with a single grey bench beneath it. The painting is framed in plain oak. The zebra’s expression is neutral.

The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
