All work and no play – Machine daydreaming

Category Members openFrameworks People Posted on:

Guillaume Massol’s openFrameworks app titled “All work and no play” watches videos coming from different training datasets and generates sentences loosely based on what is happening on the screen, sometimes creating pearls of wisdom by coincidence.

Some of the text is generated using the models created by Ross Goodwin for his NeuralSnap project. NeuralSnap is part of Ross’ ongoing research, developing tools that he hopes will serve to augment human creativity. Specifically, NeuralTalk2 uses convolutional and recurrent neural networks to caption images. Ross trained his own model on the MSCOCO dataset, using the general guidelines but made adjustments to increase verbosity. He then trained a recurrent neural network using Char-RNN on about 40MB of (mostly) 20th-century poetry from a variety of writers (and a variety of cultures) around the world.

À Louer / For Rent – Shopfront installation by Niklas Roy

When Niklas Roy was invited to show My Little Piece of Privacy at Sherbrooke’s Media Art Biennia lÉspace [IM] Média, he decided that he had to modify it slightly. Surrounded by many abandoned shop fronts, his installation was to set up in one of them and as nobody likes to stroll in roads with empty shop windows he wanted help this retail space find a new tenant.
