AI Generated Nude Portrait #7 Frame #13
Robbie Barrat (b 1999) is a young American AI prodigy born in Dublin and raised in West Virginia. Before moving to Europe, studying art and becoming a full time artist he worked at a bioinformatics lab. He uses GANs – generative adversarial networks for his artworks. For the artist AI is both a tool and a medium. Barrats first exhibition took place in 1999 and it was a collaboration with a French painter Ronan Barrot. Current artwork is part of the AI generated nude portraits. Namely the artist trained a network to portray nude figures based on the thousands of original nude portraits. The case was that the machine didn’t interpret the reference in a “correct” way and the result is a mix of flesh, clumps and folds instead of nudes as people are used to seeing them.
Robbie Barrat (b 1999) on noor tehisintellekti imelaps Ameerikast. Ta sündis Dublinis ja kasvas üles Lääne-Virginia osariigis. Enne Euroopasse kolimist, kunsti õppimist ja kunstnikukarjääri algust töötas ta bioinformaatika laboris. Ta kasutab oma loomingus GANse (generative adversarial networks). Kunstniku jaoks on tehisintellekt nii töövahend kui ka meedium. Barratti esimene näitus toimus 1999. aastal ja see oli koostöö Prantsuse maalikunstniku Ronan Barrotiga. Käesolev kunstiteos on osa tehisintellektiga loodud aktidest. Täpsemalt õpetas kunstnik programmi kujutama alasti figuure tuginedes tuhandetel originaateostel, täpsemalt aktidel. Ilmnes aga, et masin ei tõlgendanud kasutatud materjali “õigesti” ning tulemus on segu nahast, kamakatest, voltidest aktide asemel nii nagu inimesed on neid harjunud nägema.
