Point A Point B

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

Short video of a circle and line for assignment 1 of DESMA 24: Motion, Spring 2021, taught by Professor Refik Anadol. Maps were scraped from Flickr and compiled into a dataset for the training of a StyleGAN2 algorithm hosted by RunwayML through 6000 training cycles. The StyleGAN2 algorithm outputted images and video of imaginary maps based on its learning, which were applied to virtual 3D environments for a proposed installation questioning our representations of space, distance, and where we are headed in locations conducive to travel. Rendered and animated in Cinema 4D, Adobe After Effects, and compiled in Adobe Premiere Pro.
