Smoke And Shape

We are all seers. Look into the smoke and what stories, what images does your mind conjure? Out of randomness and noise, forms emerge. A story is born out of artificial shapes predicted by fire or by computer. We are smoke and form, yes evolving in a process in which the technology (like fire) we harness brings about changes the human mind. And the evolved mind creates revolutionary tools but we have a failure to communicate.

Inspired by Brds first mint of art called Alien Intelligence. A foreign intelligence is attempting to communicate with any intelligent life on earth. They have chosen to use technology to communicate and travel. The first understood contact at the SAGE computer give rise to the SAGE Anomaly and an ongoing mystery. https://sageAnomaly.com

Art created using drawings made using oscilloscope software OsciStudio and then used to train multiple Ai models using StyleGAN3. Oscilloscope drawings were made by the artist between 2016 - 2023

Witcher Mint Pass

Painting with Fire presents a vignette of transformation: the evolution of GANs from 2014 - 2023 seen through the eyes of fire. Using 14 vintage GAN models, Ionson articulates the emergence of synthetic image generation. Ionson explores fire as the quintessence of humanity's relationship to both innovation and destruction, embracing the unexpected abstractions of classic AI as a distinctive aesthetic statement.

GAN (generative adversarial network) technologies were developed by researchers and programmers but then utilized by artists. Though the technology was invented to make the images as realistic as possible, Brd subverts this to use it chaotically and abstractly; the opposite of what the AI researchers had in mind. This project celebrates the innovators and artists who have brought synthetic image generation to life with models such as the aiCAN, DCGAN, Stylegan 1, 2 & 3, bigGan, biGAN, pix2pix, AttnGan and more.

Painting with Fire: A History in GANs by Bard Ionson

The GAN gets better learning deeper colors and shapes of fire.
Channeling the fire myths of the world, Prometheus, the Phoenix, the gods of the sun and flame. A story of technology brought to humans; to myths of destruction and rebirth. To be immortal; to be a god; it is always a paradox of fire and technology. The morality of the fire is always in question but we desire it and fear it. And yet it has changed us, we have learned so much since we first touched fire. We used it to destroy the wood, smelt the metal and build the chip. And now we teach and show the fire what we know; what we create and our reflection is there telling us our faults. The GAN is but a single neuron in a blazing star; a greater fire is coming.

An inkblot of fire on the canvas of perception, this image invites interpretation, a Rorschach test set ablaze, where each viewer may find their own truth flickering within the flames. So is it utopia or dystopia?

NVIDIA introduced StyleGAN in 2018, which represented a major advancement in the field of computer-generated imagery. StyleGAN significantly improved the quality and resolution of generated images, leading to hyper-realistic results. This technology became widely known for its ability to generate highly detailed human faces.|June 2019|https://dx.doi.org/10.1109/cvpr.2019.00453
