Painting with Fire: A History in GANs by Bard Ionson

Description

In a symphony of flames, a regal silhouette emerges, an echo of the past fused into the canvas by the unpredictable hand of technology, an homage to the eternal dance of icons and algorithms. 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 DCGAN - Radford, Alec; Metz, Luke; Chintala, Soumith .
