All YIN No YANG

Artistic proposal that seeks to build a dialogue between contemporary Machine Learning methods for image generation and the process of individuation, understood as articulating the becoming of form. The varieties of formal divergence made possible using text-to-image diffusion models are explored, probing the efficacy of using semantic descriptions as a constraint to parameterise aesthetic variation within an original dataset of oil paintings. Research collaboration with Iulia Ionescu and Murad Khan, a moving image and performative experiment.
