Re: Report 7: Aesthetic Explorations in AI

What are the social implications of the contemporary photographic image? I was certainly disappointed when I uploaded my face into Face++ Face Comparison https://www.faceplusplus.com/face-comparing/ and was only able to compare my face to the stock photo of a presumably older gentleman in the free v...

Re: Report 9: Final Project

Attached is a project proposal for using CNNs to fabricate images of human biological internal organs as a way to computationally recognize the internal condition and the human subconscious.

Re: Report 6: Vision & Machine Learning

This week I was drawn to the readings: Inceptionism: Going Deeper into Neural Networks , Alexander Mordvintsev (2015), The Machine Vision , Paul Virilio (1994), and Excavating AI , Kate Crawford and Trevor Paglen (2019). The articles together provide a chronology of process: capturing reality, creat...

Re: Report 4: Volumetric data, Computational Photography

Prior to this week's discussion on volumetric data and computational photogrammetry I was playing around with a few different iphone apps- Trnio and Matterport (primarily used for real estate)- to experiment with moving my studio practice/installation into a digital space. These are not really pract...

Re: Report 3: Material-based, Software-based Explorations

For this week I was interested in breaking down what I would consider as reliable information within the drastic scope for the complex methods of recording space/time/dimension to seemingly simple salt/chocolate prints. I was reminded of the artist Jorge Otero-Pailos- specifically his project The Et...

Re: Report 2: The Pixel-based Image & its Processing

This week I was particularly drawn to the artists working in layered transparencies and pixel averaging image processing. To name a few that were mentioned in lecture and also linked in the syllabus: Idris Khan, Jason Salavan, Jim Campbell and Micheal Naggar. In my studio practice I am consistently ...

Re: Report 1: Apparatus Fundamentals / Historical Examples

What I was thinking about when going over the slides and information in the first week was the possibility of integrating eye-tracking into a photographic process as a way to have human visual limitations dictate the focus and visual information as opposed to machine capability. I started virtually ...
