I 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…
Worth considering that you could purchase a very good painting from a local artist or gallery for much less than the money and time that was spent on this project. While I get that this is a fun project, an actual work of art will provide much more enrichment over the many years that it will outlive an AI art installation.
The common ones you can buy as “digital photo frame” on Amazon sucks in image quality. I would like a minimalistic digital photo display that is colour accurate, hidpi, preferably have a way to store a handful of hi res images(if not, Adding a Pi-zero for this is still okay). Oh I am not so rich or hosting an art gallery or anything, so, it must be less than 700 bucks(the cost of an iPad). I don’t understand why such a thing doesn’t exist already.

do you have the code for training ? i wasnt able to find it in your repo. That would be so cool!
I left it out as I wanted people to use their own generative art. Here's the implementation I used: https://github.com/taki0112/StyleGAN-Tensorflow
Right now it really feels like this isn't a priority. Which is fine.
But if it is a priority that other people replicate your work, I'm not sure you're making this as easy for people as possible.

>> Nvidia Jetson Xavier NX Curious -- since you're only doing the inference/generation on the frame, and since you're not doing it all the time, did you need a Jetson or would an RPI have sufficed? Did you test inference speeds across different edge compute options?
Yeah I think the way I'd do it (personally) is have an RPi constantly generate new images in the background and cache them until storage is maxed out, then when you hit the button it just fetches the next image from cache. That would allow the frame to be somewhat lower power and also decrease ventilation requirements -- no fan needed.

This is more interesting to me as I'd never suspect it was generated art.
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…
