Training from epoch 2001 - 3000 - The initial spark of creativity, the very inception of artistry in the realm of algorithms. As each frame unfolds, the pixels themselves seem to awaken, each bearing the promise of art and the essence of the primal fire that drives creation. It's a glimpse into the dawn of a journey, where the journey itself is the masterpiece.
Channeling the fire myths of the world, Prometheus, the Phoenix, the gods of the sun and flame. A story of technology brought to humans; to myths of destruction and rebirth. To be immortal; to be a god; it is always a paradox of fire and technology. The morality of the fire is always in question but we desire it and fear it. And yet it has changed us, we have learned so much since we first touched fire. We used it to destroy the wood, smelt the metal and build the chip. And now we teach and show the fire what we know; what we create and our reflection is there telling us our faults. The GAN is but a single neuron in a blazing star; a greater fire is coming.
