Using code to create chaos and order
Using simple code that was given to us by thee mazing Hassan we were able to play with some code and translating it to something visual. We used our different concepts and recreated it with the same background to be able to put them together. We wanted to start from a complete chaos, which pictures…

Waiting
Dear Artbreeder I shared an image with you that was dear to me. The last with my sweet and grumpy late father. Along with it a phrase scribbled in my sketch book full of client work! As I spoke to the others and heard of their highs and lows. I could see many but what…

Unwelcome, Silenced
Today we trained our computer to recognize some objects and associate those objects with poems that we had written. It was nice to work with such a straight forward, code-free app. I finished early and tried styling my output with some css, it didn’t work out very well.

self in process
“People create and continually re-create themselves in contact with others; indeed, the self is ultimately a process“ [Alvesson & Skoldberg, 2000, p. 4] Thoughts – On resilience. Limitations of a single image. Reluctance to make a selection. The self is constantly evolving. Sequence = story

Don’t Give Up!
THE FEW THAT DIDN’T GIVE UP: Hasan started off the day with another brilliant lecture mapping the history of artificial intelligence and key researchers who carried on with their passion against all odds. His story began with Walter Pitts who is widly known to have been one of the first people to work on AI along…

Reconstructed Self
Day 03’s exercise explored how we can alter photos of ourselves based on a variety of parameters. These parameters go beyond that which you can find on photo editing tools, they allow control over facial features and characteristics. This was possible through an online app – artbreeder. The exercise was to recreate a version of…

Warm up to be Mind-blown
I have come into the fellowship with a sponge for a brain. I was excited and also anxious about meeting new people in an online setting and to add to it my Pecha Kucha was scheduled for the first day itself. Stef Turner was our facilitator and she really eased me into it. The warm up…

Day One
I started the day quite nervously and with a touch of unhealthy imposter syndrome! As a visual artist I am incredibly interested in how TechArt can develop my practice and indeed have produced a number of pieces that utilise technology to strengthen their function as interactive meaningful artworks. However I often work with technicians, and…

Trauma Portrait
After returning to India after years, I had found myself in a more religious country. My family was very religious too. But what was understood as religion had changed. It was more conservative than I remembered. And all kinds of oppression was in full swing under the pretext of heritage. It was depressing to see…

Artbreeeeeder
More experimentation, this time on artbreeder. It took forever to upload my image and something happened to it in the process. The eyes. Strange. When no hits for ‘resilience’ came up, I opted for ‘grit’. From there I went to ‘Ruth Bader Ginsberg’. That gave me one image (see above). Working side-by-side with S and…

Teachable Machine… Experiment
Here’s a link to my Teachable Machine Learning Experiment. This version is live. For the experiment to work, I need to be sitting behind the camera, teasing the machine. *See above for a screen capture.* I used the first three lines of Puck’s closing monologue from Shakespeare’s comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream (1595/96). (Monday morning…

Lively Poems
Today we started with a brilliant and thought provoking talk by Hasan: From Clock to Clock Maker. He spoke of the importance of the people behind the algorithm, and posed the question, why do we as a species want to recreate nature and intelligence? Also the geneolgy of clock making, and how some early clock…

Unpredictability is..
Based on the poem that was generated on Day 01, we explored how to associate different objects to each line. We were able to train a model so that it could recognize these objects. And so, as the outcome of Day 02’s exercise we had a small web app that recognized objects and prompted the…

Immersion
Immersion is electric,like a pool at night.It sounds like chaos at firstIt sounds like chaos at firstand then a comfortable calm. Immersion to me means having a cozy corner at night, with my tools and a single source of light. I enjoy the chaos going on in my head that is complimented by the quiet…

a word, any word

Subversion is…
Subversion is as hot pink as a baboon’s behind. It’s the scratch of a record in reverse. Subversion is empowerment. I took a fairly literal approach to choosing my objects/triggers here. I think next time I might choose different objects that “subvert” the viewer’s expectations… I like where the text begins to break down at…
