Earlier quoted context omitted.

I don't think there is a filter or the filter is real bad https://1secondpainting.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/8866.... (is there such thing as bad abstract art :-))

Found another example of bad RNG: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Klein_Blue#/medi...

Beautiful.

Very cool! Wonder how the copyright works on this sorta stuff. Since you fed your AI with actual images of other people art... but a art student would study other people’s art too. So not sure if AI would be seen as a copy or a derivative work. Seems like if you were designing a game and needed random art to fill frames on a wall could be cool to use these. But I feel like the legal part of doing that might be a litt…

Definitely something I considered while feeding it a tremendous number of famous paintings (Rothko, Pollock, etc). Considering the nature of random seed generation/traversing through latent space, I don't see a strong legal case to be made for infringement. The law has done crazier things, though, so I'll keep an eye on it.

As a digital abstract artist who also does generative art, I find making the tiny images sort of funny. How about making a 30x30 inch painting? If it takes 1 second to make a tiny 250 pixel image how long would it take your system to make a 9000x9000 image?

Certainly a good point. Unfortunately, the output size is constrained by the training data (which in this case was ~800x800px). I think it would be kind of a pain to find 14,000 9000x9000 images, though, so I don't know if this will ever be able to fulfill this requirement. ;)

I'm curious to know from the people commenting on this thread that they would buy one of these generated paintings whether they would still be interested if the paintings were artworks made by people. I'm guessing that there are two distinct markets here.

Yes, good point. I think a major part of the appeal is the backstory. I do love abstract art, though, so I'm probably a non-representative sample :-)

Cool things! I did a similar project and generate tons of art. Here is art samples https://www.instagram.com/likeplus.plus/ Full HD samples https://imgur.com/a/XMnMi Generated in real time low res or seconds for HD on iPad

These are gorgeous! Great work.

I really like this as well, and would love a higher resolution generator. I'd definitely put a few that were generated on a wall.

Just pipe the output to an upscaling ai like https://letsenhance.io/ /s :)

Absolutely! I was planning on providing this, but wanted to keep the model free of commercial services. There are open-source alternatives out there, though, which I may add support for in the future.

It made me think about couple years old trend of style transfer using GAN: "make your selfie look like Van Gogh". Generating abstract painting may be reduced to transfering average style of several abstract painters onto random seed image. But then it should be a trivial task, even possible to do client-side, no GPU.
