Painting with Fire: A History in GANs by Bard Ionson

Description

Humans and fire are siblings, as we watch it burn it gives a tale for us to carry until the next night. Channeling the fire myths of the world, Prometheus, the Phoenix, the gods of the sun and flame. A story of technology brought to humans; to myths of destruction and rebirth. To be immortal; to be a god; it is always a paradox of fire and technology. The morality of the fire is always in question but we desire it and fear it. And yet it has changed us, we have learned so much since we first touched fire. We used it to destroy the wood, smelt the metal and build the chip. And now we teach and show the fire what we know; what we create and our reflection is there telling us our faults. The GAN is but a single neuron in a blazing star; a greater fire is coming. One of 200 unique pieces of art in Painting With Fire: A History in GANs. Exploring the history of generative adversarial networks GAN as represented by fire. https://bardionson.com/painting-with-fire StyleGAN 2 - Karras, Tero; Laine, Samuli; Aittala, Miika; Hellsten, Janne; Lehtinen, Jaakko; Aila, Timo (June 2020).
