I found a way to generate caricatures automatically, by what I call off-shell interpolation. That is, using Stylegan to generated images, instead of mixing portions that sum up to 100%, I am doing 1.5 * (person1) – 0.9 * (person2). This isn’t just a glitch, it tends to over-exaggeration facial features in a way reminiscent of caricatures. I used this to create some video-art for the Balfour protests, morphing between AI generated caricatures of Israeli cabinet members.
The Euro-Vision project is a collaboration between 26 artists from all over Europ & the world to create our own interpretation and celebration of the renowned song competition, The Eurovision – Capitalizing on this year’s Eurovision location, Israel, The Startup Nation – our theme was Human & Machine. Some look forward to technology’s innumerable advantages while others fear the progression of artificial intelligence could lead to our downfall. Whatever the case, its rapid evolution is no secret – especially in the start-up nation of Israel, where Eurovision will be held this year. Ranging from 3D animation to stop-motion, the artists were invited to visualize what it means for humans and machines to operate as one. Is it peaceful? Violent? Organic? Or a mix of everything? Whatever it is, we know that music can always bring us together as one.
