Valentine's Day Gift Guide from Kate Vass Team!

Dear Friends, 
With Valentine's Day nearly approaching, we've put together a selection of works by David Young to inspire that special someone in your life with something very extraordinary and beautiful. David Young’s work was recently featured on the cover of Espace magazine,DU MAGAZINE and DAS MAGAZIN DER VOLKSWAGENSTIFTUNG. His current work explores how beauty and aesthetic experiences can give a fresh start to how we think about artificial intelligence.

This work, which uses AI/machine learning, is a return to his roots where he began at the height of the 1980’s AI boom.

Flowers

AI / Machine Learning generated images. 2018-2019.

Using AI & machine learning the computer was trained with photographs that Davidtook of flowers athisfarm in Bovina, NY during the summer of 2018. It then generated its own images. Nothing that emerges is accurate, but the work isn’t asking for accuracy — it’s asking for the machine to build its own unique vision of the natural world.

The work is part of theLearning Nature project. For more information see the essay Little AI
