Words Trigger

Michaella Moon This project connects RunwayML, Processing, MaxMsp and TouchDesigner to create an audio and visual rich performance. The audio and visuals are all triggered by the text typed into the program. As the text is randomly typed into the program by the audience, RunwayML’s AttnGAN takes those words to create a collaged image. Микрофинансовая организация позволяет оформить займ на …

Data Labeling for the Arts

Max Fishman This thesis paper addresses extensive research on how to augment the traditional data labeling workflow and annotation processing for machine learning and computer vision research, specifically for the development of new AI/ML tools for audio and visual artists. This paper provides background and history of image classification, applications of supervised learning, and issues with current data labeling approaches …

SOUND IMPRINTS

SOUND IMPRINTS AI.CULTURE.CREATIVITY. CLASS EXPLORATION: In this project, we explore privacy and location-based sound through distributed coral boards. Our larger goal is to use sound design to prototype the relationships and differences between centralized, distributed, and federated machine learning. In our first iteration, the Coral Boards were distributed across environments, but the data and the models were located in a …

Beach

I used to be a regular swimmer before moving to California. I was struggling trying to access a place that I can swim regular once I settled down. I made a set of conditions to determine rather I would go swimming based on my behaviors. Rules ● If the weather is warm, I will go to the beach (equals 1) …

BEHAVIORS

I found that by setting the cells to die if they have less than 2 or more than 3 neighbors, and to be created when there are exactly 3 neighbors creates some very interesting shapes and processes. It seems that by balancing the amount of life and death, we can observe recursive behaviors (loops) in the shapes of the cells. …

APOCALYPSE

  For this section, I messed around with the cellSize, probabilityOfAliveAtStart, and the various rules surrounding the number of neighbours surrounding a cell. I found that modifying these 3 statements along with the cell size produced some very interesting results. When you modify the cellSize you change the probability of a pattern occurring. A lower cell size has a higher …

SOCIAL ANXIETY AT PARTIES

I wanted to theorize a set of rules for how people with Social Anxiety function at social events, the rules conform a bit to what I found yielded a more visually pleasing output, but I was still able to justify the rules within the process. I’m looking forward to doing a lot more with these systems and want to hopefully …

Jeong Woo GAME OF LIFE RULES The grid represents the area in which the game of life plays out. The grid size is correlated to the quantity of live and dead cell at any given moment. One is visually able to “see” life in a more detached vantage point. This can be a valuable tool when it comes to understanding …

FIJIAN BODY IDEALS AND BODY IMAGE

In this adaptation of Conway’s Game of Life, I analyzed the difference between Fijian beauty ideals/body image and Western beauty ideals/body image. Anne Becker suggests that they are highly indicative of larger cultural values — Westerners idealizing the ‘inner self’, autonomy and independence while Fijians idealizing the ‘self’ as dependent and part of a larger community. The ideal Fijian body …

CELLULAR AUTOMATA / ADJACENCY

Two starter processing sketches served as prompts for the class.The first processing sketch was a modified Game of Life (GOL) script that, when implemented, changed the material form of a video file. The intended result was to understand how AL/AI can change digital material properties.In the second processing sketch, the class used Conway’s GOL to explore the relationship between form, …
