continuing in my explorations of image generation with neural networks – i present the presidents of the united states of america, rendered as if by Picasso, in Picasso’s various styles. many thanks to Matt McFarland for the inspiration and nice writeup.

i have Picasso’s brain in a vat. (please don’t ask me how i got it.) if you’ve seen those trippy hallucination videos, it’s kinda like that: i have his virtual visual cortex inside my computer. but instead of putting eyeballs inside armpits – he paints. if you send me your picture at qarl@qarl.com, i’ll force […]
BOO!
just in time for halloween. create your own ghost simulator and scare the neighborhood kids. and also learn a wee bit of programming. thank you to Noah who is awesome.
oh Mona!
it turns out that using neural networks to create images is a ton of fun. recently researchers at google have been training their nets to hallucinate. just last week a team has used a similar technique to replicate artistic style. and now i’m using those same ideas to mash images together. poor Mona will never […]
joy!
when I was bored as a kid, i would turn on PBS to watch their painting shows. and their cooking shows. and their carpentry shows. I loved watching people making things. starting from nothing and ending with something. pure creation. today i’m trying to recreate that magic. my skill is computer programming. computers make beautiful […]
