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.

‘Ghost’ installation traps visitors in an interactive snow storm

Ghost is an interactive installation of a snow storm, raging within an abandoned, barren landscape. Within this storm the visitor can make out a procession of human forms which seemingly try to find a way out. The bodies are remnants of the previous visitors, their ghosts, trapped in the hostile environment.

Swipin’ Safari for iOS – Virtual safari across an infinite painting

Jeremy Rotsztain takes you on a virtual safari across an infinite painting where with each gesture you encounter new species of brush strokes and colorful patterns which endlessly redraw, connect and change colour.

Amygdala MKI –– Artificially intelligent prosthesis

Created by Marco Donnarumma in collaboration with Neurobotics Research Laboratory and Ana Rajcevic Studio, Amygdala MKI is a prototype for an artificially intelligent prosthesis with only aim is to learn a purification ritual of “skin-cutting” found in animistic tribes, so it trains on its own body, endlessly.
