About

Audiovisual deep dive into machine imagination. From my GANism series "Artificial Dreams", a predecessor of my "MERZmory" chapter. For this I used a GAN model trained on public domain abstract art, and looked for the transgression between human creativity and machine generativity. The soundscape is created from my music, distorted and dechronized. This video installation was shown on several festivals and exhibitions, e.g. Waterkant Festival 2022 and during Salzburg symposium "AI and ART, Symbiotic Vision", 2024
