Faceless artwork9/27/2023 The exhibition’s curator, Anna Reshetkina, said the painting was vandalised “with a Yeltsin Center-branded pen”. He trained the AI on using 6,000 Kanye West lines and can generate speech that can rap the words assembled by the AI, with natural pauses and a cadence similar to Kanye.Alexander Drozdov, the executive director of the Yeltsin Center, did not identify the security guard in a statement, but said he worked for a private security company and had been fired. This is the first notable project that he's worked on using AI in this manner. After a week of working profusely on the project, he completed RAPBOT after only a week. The idea to build an AI that can create its own bars came after Barrat and his classmates were in a heated and challenging argument as to whether AI could perform "artistic" or "human" better tasks than Humans themselves. NVIDIA noticed this project and invited Barrat to work with them on AI directly out of high school. This project was written about in a profile by Quartz. He wrote and taught a Recurrent Neural Network to rap like Kanye West. The first AI+Art project Barrat completed, during his senior year of high school. He plans to try to get something usable from the Google sketchup 3d workshop. Barrat originally began this project as an attempt at generative architecture but lack of an appropriate dataset held him back from that. AI Generated SculpturesģD DCGAN inspired GAN trained on 32x32x32 voxelizations of Thingi10k - a corpus of 10,000 3D printable objects and sculptures - as a result, the generated sculptures are almost always 3D-printable, but usually do not have any real 'meaning', and are just abstract sorts of shapes. why people carry bags, whether or not bags are separate from pants, why people prefer symmetrical outfits) - and in turn produces more strange outfits that completely disregard these functions. The network lacks any contextual awareness of the non-visual functions of clothing (e.g. The results are outfits which are novel but at the same time heavily inspired by Balenciaga's past few years under Demna Gvasalia. Using a corpus of Balenciaga runway shows, catalogues, and campaigns, a Pix2PixHD network was trained to reconstruct Balenciaga outfits from Densepose silhouettes. Using CycleGAN, a corpus of minecraft gameplay frames was collected through Barrat’s own gameplay, and a corpus of landscape oil paintings he scraped from WikiArt - he was trained the network to turn minecraft into a "playable oil painting". Nevertheless, the results are interesting. The probable answer for this is some form of mode collapse. Towards the end of training, it started to paint more and more paintings with unrecognizable objects and forms included. These paintings can be seen towards the bottom of this page. The longer the network is trained, the more it tends to producing more murky and dark paintings. One can tell that whatever painted these has little idea of how the physical world works often painting trees with floating branches, and multiple trees having joined trunks. The resulting landscape paintings are fairly realistic, while also being strangely surreal. Using an implementation of Progressive Growing of GANs and a corpus of tens of thousands of landscape oil paintings scraped from WikiArt, a neural network was trained to create new landscape paintings. Is this how machines see people? AI Generated Landscapes The machine failed to learn all of the proper attributes found in nude portraits and instead has fallen into a local minima where it generates surreal blobs of flesh. The resulting portraits are not realistic. Using an implementation of Progressive Growing of GANs and a corpus of thousands of nude portraits scraped primarily from WikiArt, a neural network was trained to create nude portraits. The resulting collaboration – or confrontation – between its digital and analog creators marked the birth of an entirely new realm of creative partnership. 450 paintings of skulls which Ronan Barrot painted over the last few years were digitally scanned so that Robbie Barrat could train a neural network to create new images of skulls from these works. Their exhibition “BARRAT/BARROT: Infinite Skulls – An unprecedented encounter between a painter and an artist researcher in artificial intelligence” featured an “infinite” number of skulls.
