The writeup on Sergio Albiac's generative portraiture project
Stardust is a bit heady:
Life is finite. Creativity isn't. An artist has the potential to create infinite artworks but only some of them will see the light due to the constraint of time. What if we use technology to outsource the creation of art so more of these potential artworks are finally created? Modelling artistic decisions into software would provide a generative assistant that could even survive an artist in the creation of meaningful works of visual art. This project is a first experiment around this concept.
We'll ignore the fact that it's somewhat untrue and just enjoy the
portraits it creates - particularly when it is
of your friends.
