A series of generative abstract artworks created using machine learning models.

'Secret Island' is about finding your role in art. The artist does not always manage to listen to his heart and trust his intuition, and, as a consequence, the horizons go into the distance. Face to face with alienation, envy, burnout and at the same time under the light of bright sun and positive vibrations his journey to an encounter with himself, his secret island continues.

M87 Black Hole Deconstruction

By @MattKane

Shi Zheng's "Free Fall Study Ill" documents experiments in falling simulation from the video installation "Free Fall." The vertical, narrow perspective of the work captures computer-simulated white sheet masks that keep falling downwards. As another layer in the work, a computer-vision recognition system surveils and detects how the image is moving. The facial recognition system then identifies whether the image of each falling mask matches the features of a human face. Numbers between 0.0 and 1.0 represent the approximation value of "human" identified by the machine compared to "real human."

In today's highly observed, studied, and analyzed world, vision machines powered by algorithms exist everywhere. Meanwhile, visual images are gradually becoming a computational product that has impacted the way we see and understand the world, and "meat vision" has to be mixed with and controlled by computer vision. The face­detection algorithms in this work programmatically translate complex human face information into numbers, which end up overly simplifying the diversity of what a face looks like. Thus, the falling "masks" in the work not only physically embody products-including facial processing and digital filters-but also epitomize what it means to be "human" in our data-flooded era.

The Decal(gon)

An interpretation of the Decal by @kos. Handcrafted Decagon-style decal.

A beautiful and sublime golden landscape with rolling hills, valleys and mountains wrapped in a warm golden hue. The sky in a deep blue, and the sun would be a bright, shining orb, dotted with trees, bushes and flowers, and there would be a river running through it.
