Would it have been easier to generate these images on some cloud gpu and stream/send the images to a smart tv? To avoid building and fabricating all the hardware components?

#92Maybe a stupid question, but why the Samsung connect box if the Jetson already has a HDMI output?

#93I just finished my latest project, building an AI art installation at home, generating 100 % unique artworks on the fly. Just push the button below the screen and another one will be displayed. When the button has been pushed, the old artwork is deleted and can't be retrieved again. Setup: * An Nvidia Jetson Xavier NX was used for all logic, machine learning inference, art kiosk GUI etc. * A StyleGAN was used to gene…
Interesting! I built a generative art frame based on "{Shan, Shui}" by Lingdong Huang https://dheera.net/projects/einkframe/ but also planning to use it for neural-net based generative art. I wasn't planning on putting a NX in it though, I was thinking of just keeping the Pi Zero in there and have it do all computations in "the cloud" or on a Nano/Xavier box sitting elsewhere on the same network. I'm currently workin…
This is more interesting to me as I'd never suspect it was generated art.

But then OP would have skipped a lot of the fun

This is really cool! I'd love to seed the GAN with my own artwork and generate new pieces in my style
Thats what I am thinking about, what kind of images to train on

Yeah that was what I was going for, guests who come would not even know that there are electronics in the frame, and suddenly the art would change every now and then.
Requires drilling a fat hole in the wall to send the USB cable down behind the drywall but meh, needing to patch drywall when moving out isn't the end of the world, usually if you chat up the maintainence folk you can get some extra paint of exactly the right color and spackle/paint it yourself.

#97Art shouldn't be unlimited. Its ok to call things screensavers, because screensavers are also cool, its just that it isnt art in the sense of "art" the word, if an AI is doing it, its something else, and making it unlimited is not interesting, it is irresponsible. Its the constraints that make art what it is, not simply the definition of an infinite possibility space
If you're going to gatekeep what art can be, you better have some pretty impressive creative credentials of your own. Some people say "an unlimited edition is meaningless, has no value" and all they really mean is "I'm conservative, I don't see the point of change, and I can't think of any way an unlimited edition could be interesting"
Having a different opinion isn't gatekeeping, it's disagreeing. No one is stopping this person from doing what they want.
Second, if your definition of art is unlimited, it's hardly useful, so I don't think it matters.

Thanks! Depending on how many artworks you've created, it might be difficult to train a GAN network on them (due to overfitting). What you might try is to train one network with a lot of random artworks, then use a Style-transfer network to convert the generated pieces into your style.
couldn't you use something like style transfer to take your own artwork's style and apply it to the generated art?

this comment seeded an interesting idea! Many artists and photographers want to get into the NFT space but they don't necessarily have experience in digital art creation. If you could leverage AI to generate digital art based on real artist/photographer inputs, perhaps you could create a nice little marketplace business.. or maybe just a simple AI generator plugin for an existing marketplace..
Most artists (with some exceptions) want to have nothing to do with AI generative art. They will simply continue to produce art the way they do with older technologies such as paints and brushes, musical instruments, film equipment, writing tools, and so on. Art making involves a process, a state of mind and there's always a human behind it who digests everything around them and spit something out. All these imitativ…
That's good insight. I am not an artist but I've also run this idea by a friend who is. He loves the idea and is curious what a technological interpretation of his work might look like. He's also interested in how we might use those interpretations to create a new segment of collections for this brand.

Ok, so this is cool as fuck. I don't think much of the actually produced art, but the fact that you laid out your whole process makes this drool-worthy. Now it is just a challenge as to- can I do better? Great job.
Nobody could include more individual photos in the how to.
This one has how many gazillion photos?
