Image: google research blog reports that "neural networks that were trained to discriminate between different kinds of images have quite a bit of the information needed to generate images too."
In this outstanding paper, Google reports that "The techniques presented here help us understand and visualize how neural networks are able to carry out difficult classification tasks, improve network architecture, and check what the network has learned during training." This understanding raises question about the human condition. The article concludes by saying that "It also makes us wonder whether neural networks could become a tool for artists—a new way to remix visual concepts—or perhaps even shed a little light on the roots of the creative process in general." I believe that the act of transposing is a fundamental survival mechanism of the mind, not only a creative one. The process of my Natural Disaster Color series is a reminder that, as humans, we are constantly processing and transforming that which we experience -- hopefully for better.
