Activation

James Bridle (UK)

The Activation series illustrates the visual appearance of information at each level of a neural network learning to read the world — in this case, a self-driving car on the road climbing Mount Parnassus.

The series explores the layers of understanding between human and machine vision: at different stages of cognition, different aesthetic effects appear, but meaning emerges continuously from the constant reconfiguration of information.
