Did some fun generative AI projects: “The Complete Daisy,” a throwback political ad, from a “simpler” time of negative politics… And “Crying,” a very short film for the very cool “One Off” festival by Noemata — on the theme of crying. (starts on Nov 15th): https://noemata.net/one-off

When you’ve been at something for a long time, you start forgetting what you did all those years ago, so it’s really nice when other people remember. So, it’s a super honor that the Rhizome folks included theBot from back in 2000, in their generative art history SEED. Ramble on! -theBot

The A-side (Deep Hysteria) is a major work. It involved (re)training custom Stylegan models, collecting and analyzing data, and various other rather time-consuming … Read more
