Triptych of 3 videos created in October 2018 with a technique I call "Neural Glitch" in which I manipulate fully trained GANs by randomly altering, deleting or exchanging their trained weights. Due to the complex structure of the neural architectures the glitches introduced this way occur on texture as well as on semantic levels which causes the models to misinterpret the input data in interesting ways, some of which could be interpreted as glimpses of autonomous creativity. One interesting aspect of this process is that on one side the same input data can yield very different results depending on the glitch whilst at the same time different input data, transformed by the same glitched model chain will result in a coherent style and show the same semantic misinterpretations.
These 3 videos have been extracted from an installation I showed at the ZKM Karlsruhe, Germany in October 2018 where each video was approximately 2 hours long. They deliberately have varying duration in order to allow for more permutations when played in parallel.
