Memories of oblivion - Jaime Lobato
This work is the synthesis of the superposition of natural neural networks and artificial neural networks. Several people were asked to model from memory the face of the person they loved the most in their lives and the process was recorded with a three-dimensional sensor. The resulting three-dimensional objects were fed to a GAN (stylegan2) trained to recognize and produce faces. These abstractions were blurring the memory of this artificial intelligence causing it to forget its learned weights, generating a latent space of affection and tactile memory. Beside the video generated by the GAN it was produced a 3D sculpture showing this oblivion process. If the work can be shown physically the montage will include the interactive installation and a printed version of the sculpture, if not, a video of the process and the 3D model digital.
