Portr(aa) is an automated Portrait generator I'm currently building. it uses neural network based technique (AI) to generate colors and shapes from a set of input pictures. Abstraction comes from a mix of various digital image manipulation algorithms applied all along the process. these are early results from the experiment.
Enter ExhibitAn ongoing experimentation with footage from Dmitri Kirsanoff's Ménilmontant (1926) starring his wife Nadia Sibirskaïa. I'm using 'artificial intelligence technology to transform early cinema footage. Motion and shapes are extracted from the original pictures and feed different 'neural networks' to generate abstract visualizations. I like to imagine this new vision embeds imperfections and nostalgia while bringing a different emotional state to the viewer.
