#2I 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 generate the artworks, trained on ~5k images of abstract art.
* A passive infrared sensor (SR602) was integrated with the Jetson to reduce screen burn-in. When no movement has been detected around the installation within a pre-defined threshold, the screen shuts off until movement is detected.
* A custom control box was built, encapsulating most of the electronics.

#3Very beautiful. If I trained the network on say, just drawings and painting Mondrian did, do you think they'd converge stylistically?
Is a huge (5,000+ items) dataset required to get decent results?

Thanks!
I think it's quite likely that you will heavily overfit the network if you only use a handful of images, where it might end up reconstructing the exact paintings. I only have experience using 5,000+ images.

#5I wonder if using a color e-ink display would make the art look more appealing on a wall.

What country uses those round black outlets?

It probably will! I actually looked into buying a color e-ink display, but ended up using a The Frame instead for a couple of reasons:
* They are incredibly expensive if you want ~32"
* I wasn't sure that it would've worked together with the Nvidia Xavier NX.

#8The installation is impressive but the output is underwhelming. Then again, I feel the same about the pieces in most contemporary art museums.

I'm from Sweden :)

#10Very cool. I now have a reason to get my hands on a Jetson. Also great work on the detailed readme.
