"It means nothing to me. I have no opinion about it, and I don't care." On the first moon landing, quoted in The New York Times, (1969-07-21). https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Pablo_Picasso Curious about his feelings regarding this work. (I find it beautiful.)

Jesus what a curmudgeon. I love how solidly he bought into the whole pretentious modern 'artiste' personality that is still being emulated today. I guess having a world weary 'fuck you' attitude is probably the social signaling you need to do to get your stuff into high-end galleries.

There is something that escapes me regarding this very cool neural style transfer technique. One would expect it to need at least three starting images: the one to transform, the one used as a source for the style, and a non-styled version of the source. This last one should give the network hints on how to transform the unstyled version in the styled one. For example, what does a straight line end up being in the st…

You need a neural network that can understand the content and the style separately. It needs to interpret the content out of the frame and then make a new frame with that content but in a new style.

I have two opinions: 1) I don't think cubism transfers well into a motion picture format, 2) I think these experiments, as they are currently, attempt to merge two styles and end up with neither, and nothing novel in its place; there is little Kubrick or Picasso in the final piece. I think it's superficial and doesn't do either source justice.

I thought that was awesome, then I came here to see about half of the comments full of people criticizing and dismissing it. This is a really neat experiment, just appreciate it. The author didn't claim that this is some groundbreaking, perfect piece of art or technology.

Did he buy in, or was he the source? A bit like how you can hear Chuck Yaeger in every US airline pilot's calm drawl.

1. I think cubism can benefit from an explicit time dimension, though exactly how it should be done, I don't know.

2. I agree, as they are in this video, but I think cubism could be used to capture the experience of entering the monolith even better than Kubrick captured it.

I remember watching an interview with the creators of South Park in which they described the transition from animating using cardboard cutouts to a system with CorelDraw and other pieces of software which helped speed up the process. The bulk of the efficiency improvement came from carefully defining all the frequently used objects (characters, houses) once with movable components, and reusing those objects in the pe…

An app that would let someone quickly animate a some dialogue in the style of South Park/The Simpsons/Family Guy would be an instant best seller. It would become the "Supernormal" of the late 20-teens. You could even do it by only outputting the equivalent of Wally Wood's 20 panels that always work.
