(un)stable equilibrium 1:1 [1 minute loop] #8

Collection

(un)stable equilibrium 1:1 [original 1 minute loop] by Terence Broad

Description

*(un)stable equilibrium* (2019) by Terence Broad is a collection of abstract works generated using neural networks without any training data. Inspired by the generative adversarial networks (GAN) framework, Broad developed an approach made up of two generative neural networks producing images to imitate each other, whilst competing to have more colour diversity. The title of the piece reflects the experimental process of finding a balance of randomness and stability in the training process. With their blocks of colour and aesthetically pleasing colour combinations, the works in the collection remind us of Mark Rothko’s early abstract paintings and the colour field movement. Yet no images were fed into Broad’s model, much less Rothko’s. Colour is not a data source here, but rather a means of communication: a form of a meditative dialogue between two neural networks, through two artificial representations of colour fields. *(un)stable equilibrium 1:1 [original 1 minute loop]* is the original 1-minute-long extraction from the first of these six experiments that compose *(un)stable equilibrium* (2019).
