Re: wk10 - DALLE-2, Final Review Dec 1, 2022
Last week, I attempted to use Dall-E 2 to generate visual content for the novel Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino . My original idea was to generate one or two images for all 55 imaginary cities described in the book. However, this proved to be an unrealistic goal. First, Calvino's text does not dep...

Re: wk07 - Stable Diffusion - 2nd set, Nov. 10, 2022
This week, I tried three extensions of Stable Diffusion: (1) outpainting in an infinite canvas, (2) video creation using camera movement, and (3) material stable diffusion. Outpainting / Infinite Canvas : Similar to the Dall-E2 outpainting interface, this extension has a friendly user interface that...

Re: wk06 - Stable Diffusion 1 - Nov 3, 2022
This week, I started exploring Stable Diffusion (SD) running locally on my desktop. Setting up such a complicated system on a Windows machine is usually a pain, but the conda environments and hugging face login integrations made this easy. Initially, the first thing I noticed in SD compared to Midjo...

Re: wk04 - MidJourney 3rd + Analysis Report
We used Midjourney for the first three weeks of class, and I've noticed certain qualities of the resulting images. Midjourney seems to utilize the whole canvas for placing visual elements. Interestingly, almost none of the images generated by Midjourney has empty compositional space. The empty space...

Re: Report 3: Material-based, Software-based Explorations
This week, I was mostly drawn to the use of noise in art. Like George and many others mentioned throughout the course, Ryoji Ikeda's aesthetics on the organization of data by modulating the order and chaos is amazing to me. He is a genius in composing his pieces. One particular topic we covered in t...

Re: Report 7: Aesthetic Explorations in AI
Originally intended for problems that are hard to solve using algorithmic methods, artificial intelligence provided a new lens for computer scientists to tackle harder problems with the help of real-world data. It was almost inevitable for these systems to be employed by artists for aesthetic explor...

Re: Report 5: Generative Art, Computational Aesthetics
As Galanter puts it in his canonical publication What is Generative Art? Complexity Theory as a Context for Art Theory , the generative art is an "art practice where the artist uses a system, such as a set of natural language rules, a computer program, a machine, or other procedural invention, which...

Re: Report 6: Vision & Machine Learning
This week, I appreciated the discussion about human vision and machine learning methods. Interestingly, I recently came across an article that improves the robustness of object detection methods using CNNs by mimicking the visual cortex of human brains. ss.jpg The authors mention that the current ob...
