A deep neural network opening its eyes for the first time, and trying to understand what it sees. Learning to See is an ongoing series of works that use state-of-the-art machine-learning algorithms as a means of reflecting on ourselves and how we make sense of the world.
Gene Kogan will introduce the field of machine learning and its existing and speculative implications to new media and art in general. He will discuss applications of neural networks and associated algorithms to producing images, sounds, and texts, showing examples of contemporary works using these abilities. Gene Kogan will also present two of his own works intersecting machine learning and generative art.
