MOST of AI/GAN art is a poor copy/fuse of 19th century and impressionism that's why MOST of generative art made with Processing/OpenFrameworks looks way way better discuss

I’ve resisted being called the AI artist but not anymore because what I’m making is art, it’s creative coding and it’s a widely fascinating area of cutting edge research - so yes, I’m proud to be an AI artist, public opinion be damned 😘

the lesson i'm deep learning is that whatever looks nice and charming done by a human hand would look mechanical and forced when is done with GAN however similar the texture is... the quest is for a new kind of mark making - unabashedly done with machine but unique and beautiful

i'd love to be proved wrong but it feels less and less likely that there will be any research around DL on small compute/less data - Google, FB et al are not interested - they want everybody to use their cloud and pre-trained models discuss

mentioned this before but worth repeating - the #gen2GAN involves a couple dozen models i built for this project specifically; i didn't use any of my preexisting ones to avoid bias - if it resembles any of my work think it's only because there exists an artist signature
