My Story of Resilience
The more I learn in life, the more I realise that cross-disciplinary working is the way forward. This is something I hold close to my own heart and is something that I’ve taken from Hasan’s lectures so far. I’ve realised how art is used as vehicle for social change, whether thats intentionally or unintentionally. Fictional…

Creating new identities to tackle new challenges.
Somewhere over the internet I read that we aren’t taught to deal with the kind of challenges that exist in todays society. Evolution and education hasn’t caught up to social media and our mental health is struggling. The world is moving at an ever faster pace amd we’re struggling to keep up. Can we employ…

Creating a portrait with AI
Feeding Artbreeder with my photo while trying to illustrate how do I moved in moods (from left to right) during the first months of Covid-19 lockdown in 2020 . Maybe I should try to make a visual diary for 2021.

Breeding Resilience
On not giving up and self belief. This morning Hasan outlined the history of notions of neural networks and artificial intelligence starting in 1943 with Warren Mc Culloch and Walter Pitts. It was fascinating and inspiring to hear how humble beginnings, personal problems, resilience and self belief can result in such brilliant minds. We were…

Resilience to Fantasy D3
Can machines think? Kiran asked further it depends on how we define thinking and machine. And the discussion followed interesting stories by Hasan and perspectives spontaneously by some of the fellows. A personal story of resilience snippet from my story was : “However out of all that thinking I decided to go back. And felt…

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…

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…

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…

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…
