描述
This work is part of a series of GAN generated images that I created as a contribution for Nick Knight's "Fashion Digital Future" - first shown at Harrods, London in October 2020.
In an iterative process I call "Transhancement" I reinterpret catwalk images from 20 years of fashion shows. For this I trained a custom neural network on "The Garden of Earthly Delights" by 16th century painter Hieronymus Bosch. As a result it deliberately misinterprets the data it is given and produces forms and textures that are undoubtedly reminiscent of his aesthetic whilst at the same time introduces surreal shapes and strange compositions.
For this series I developed my own custom GAN architecture and training process which attempts to generate a rich variety of textural details whilst at the same time tries not to imitate brush strokes but maintain its own "convolutional" aesthetic.
