Signature: _____________________________ iii Abstract Name: Chris Luginbuhl University Name: OCAD University Thesis Title: Future Renaissance Degree Title: MFA Program Title: Digital Futures Year of Defense: 2019 This document explores image making in collaboration with neural networks, particularly Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). Research creation is used to develop a collaborative relationship with artificial intelligence (AI) which moves beyond the use of the computer as a simple tool in the image-making process. As a way of deepening this reflection, the images are developed using speculative fiction to imagine what intelligent machines’ creation myths might look like in the distant future, and this helps suggest how we might form AI in the present. GANs are found to help express visual ideas by providing a wealth of imagery and textural detail which can be modified with the selection of training data and transfer learning. The difficulty of training GANs can be mitigated by using other machine learning techniques such as object detection to gather training data, and by working with low-resolution imagery that reduces computational demands, increasing accessibility. iv Acknowledgements This project was propelled by the powerful interdisciplinary rocket fuel of the OCAD U Digital Futures Program, its faculty and students. I feel very fortunate to have worked with my supervisor Kate Hartman, whose support, positivity and critical eye kept this rocket from self-destructing many times over. My secondary supervisor Adam Tindale provided much helpful guidance on how to think, make, write and question. Kristy Boyce and Finlay Braithwaite contributed many helpful ideas and suggestions over the course of many long conversations about this project. I still feel like you both understand it a lot better than I do. Along the way I was graciously assisted with discussions, support and troubleshooting from various people at github.com and codementor.io. I would particularly like to thank Tushar Gupta for his patient help getting me up and running with GANs, as well as the numberless developers and researchers who freely offer their expertise online for the benefit of everyone. I am deeply grateful to my parents who gave me a love for science, art and books, and who generously supported me through all my struggles. Finally, I would like to particularly thank Camilla who inspired me with her example and gave me encouragement to pursue this degree and this project at every stage. v Contents: Chapter 1 - Introduction ......................................................................................................... 1 1.1 Project Motivation...................................................................................................................... 1 1.2 Renaissance as Inspiration .......................................................................................................... 2 1.3 Materials and Physical Images.................................................................................................... 3 1.4 Research Questions .................................................................................................................... 3 1.5 Terminology and Limitations in This Work................................................................................. 4 1.6 Document Structure ................................................................................................................... 5 Chapter 2 - Literature and Context Review ...................................................................... 6 2.1 Roots of AI and Robotics ............................................................................................................ 6 2.2 Speculative Fiction...................................................................................................................... 7 2.3 Speculative Design...................................................................................................................... 8 2.4 Artificial Life ................................................................................................................................ 9 2.5 Information and Surveillance ................................................................................................... 10 2.6 Robotic Art ................................................................................................................................ 11 2.7 Mythology ................................................................................................................................ 12 2.8 Neural Networks, GANs, Image Analogies ............................................................................... 13 2.9 Artificial Intelligence Safety and Ethics .................................................................................... 16 2.10 Conclusion .............................................................................................................................. 17 Chapter 3 - Methodology .......................................................................................................18 3.1 Speculative Fiction.................................................................................................................... 18 3.2 Research Creation .................................................................................................................... 19 3.3 Collaboration ............................................................................................................................ 21 Chapter 4 - Processes.............................................................................................................22 4.1 Speculative Design Process ...................................................................................................... 22 4.2 Making Myth Images ................................................................................................................ 25 4.3 Face Detection & GANs, Part 1 ................................................................................................. 28 4.4 Increasing Expressiveness in GAN Images................................................................................ 33 4.5 Making the Digital Images Physical - CNC Gilding .............................................................. 38 Chapter 5 - Results ..................................................................................................................43 5.1 Images for Final Exhibition ....................................................................................................... 44 5.2 Reflection on Results ................................................................................................................ 45 Chapter 6 - Summary and Conclusion .............................................................................48 6.1 Our Changing Relationship to AI............................................................................................... 50 6.2 Speculative Realism .................................................................................................................. 52 6.3 Machine Mythology and Spirituality .......................................................................................

  • Universal Mythology: Stories
    Universal Mythology: Stories That Circle The World Lydia L. This installation is about mythology and the commonalities that occur between cultures across the world. According to folklorist Alan Dundes, myths are sacred narratives that explain the evolution of the world and humanity. He defines the sacred narratives as “a story that serves to define the fundamental worldview of a culture by explaining aspects of the natural world, and delineating the psychological and social practices and ideals of a society.” Stories explain how and why the world works and I want to understand the connections in these distant mythologies by exploring their existence and theories that surround them. This painting illustrates the connection between separate cultures through their polytheistic mythologies. It features twelve deities, each from a different mythology/religion. By including these gods, I have allowed for a diversified group of cultures while highlighting characters whose traits consistently appear in many mythologies. It has the Celtic supreme god, Dagda; the Norse trickster god, Loki; the Japanese moon god, Tsukuyomi; the Aztec sun god, Huitzilopochtli; the Incan nature goddess, Pachamama; the Egyptian water goddess, Tefnut; the Polynesian fire goddess, Mahuika; the Inuit hunting goddess, Arnakuagsak; the Greek fate goddesses, the Moirai: Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos; the Yoruba love goddess, Oshun; the Chinese war god, Chiyou; and the Hindu death god, Yama. The painting was made with acrylic paint on mirror. Connection is an important element in my art, and I incorporate this by using the mirror to bring the audience into the piece, allowing them to see their reflection within the parting of the clouds, whilst viewing the piece.

  • Aztec Mythology
    Aztec Mythology One of the main things that must be appreciated about Aztec mythology is that it has both similarities and differences to European polytheistic religions. The idea of what a god was, and how they acted, was not the same between the two cultures. Along with all other native American religions, the Aztec faith developed from the Shamanism brought by the first migrants over the Bering Strait, and developed independently of influences from across the Atlantic (and Pacific). The concept of dualism is one that students of Chinese religions should be aware of; the idea of balance was primary in this belief system. Gods were not entirely good or entirely bad, being complex characters with many different aspects and their own desires and motivations. This is highlighted by the relation between Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca. When the Spanish arrived with their European sensibilities, they were quick to name one good and one evil, identifying Quetzalcoatl with Christ and Tezcatlipoca with Satan during their attempts to integrate the Nahua peoples into Christianity. But to the Aztecs neither god would have been “better” than the other; they are just different and opposing sides of the same duality. Indeed, their identities are rather nebulous, with Quetzalcoatl often being referred to as “White Tezcatlipoca” and Tezcatlipoca as “Black Quetzalcoatl”. The Mexica, as is explained in the history section, came from North of Mexico in a location they named “Aztlan” (from which Europeans developed the term Aztec). During their migration south they were exposed to and assimilated elements of several native religions, including those of the Toltecs, Mayans, and Zapotecs.

  • Onassis Stegi You and AI: Through the Algorithmic Lens
    Onassis Stegi You and AI: Through the Algorithmic Lens Curated by Irini Mirena Papadimitriou, Creative Director, FutureEverything Commissioned and Produced by Onassis Stegi 24 June - 25 July, 2021 Pedion Areos - Athens Throughout history, humans have imagined how artificial intelligence might transform society. How intelligent machines could make us more efficient, productive and predictable. What began as a dream has today become a reality. AI is everywhere. From personal and home devices and rapidly expanding into public space. But as AI starts to shape our everyday lives, who shapes AI? And how are we affected by machine decision making we might not even be aware of? You and AI invites you to explore work that challenges our fantasies of AI and opens up critical discussions about the increasing implementation of these systems and their impact on human subjectivity in the social, working and democratic contexts. Unfolding through three thematic areas, it is investigating ideas around AI, civic space and participation, how we perceive the world and are being seen through algorithms, and questioning the meaning of intelligence within AI. Thematic Area 1 - AI, CIVIC SPACE, PARTICIPATION & DEMOCRACY In a world dominated by algorithms and where AI is always watching – is everyone included? Or does the machine decide who should be seen and heard? The first thematic area, AI, civic space, participation and democracy, presents works that show worlds through artificial, invisible systems and new digital bureaucracies. Worlds that are increasingly quantified and categorised by algorithmic systems, and where everything is redefined, accepted or excluded based on machine decision making systems and automation.

  • Ars Electronica Futurelab
    Ars Electronica Futurelab Andreas J. Hirsch Edited by Horst Hörtner, Roland Haring, Hideaki Ogawa Alchemists of the Future Ars Electronica Futurelab The First 25 Years and Beyond ARS ELECTRONICA FUTURELAB 25 Years of Ars Electronica Futurelab The creation of the Futurelab was in equal measure an accident or a stroke of luck (right people, right time, right place) and the unavoidable consequence of the original Ars Electronica idea of a merging of art, technology, and society. It was certainly also an urgent necessity—actually the only chance—to make the planned Ars Electronica Center with its groundbreaking innovations, high artistic standards, and clear didactical goals a fully functioning “Museum of the Future.” In mid-1995, entrusted with this task, we were faced with so many technical and creative challenges that there was simply only one way forward: putting together a team of ambitious and visionary artists and technicians and striving to turn this great vision, which up to that point had existed only on paper, into reality. To realize his idea of an Ars Electronica Center, Hannes Leopoldseder had in advance invited experts and artists from all over the world to develop visions for this new kind of center and, not surprisingly, the invitees outdid themselves with spectacular scenarios ranging from LED wallpaper with which all walls would be covered (at that time there were not yet LED flatscreens on the market) to kinetic components that would change the building constantly. Alas, there was then the reality, a reality in which it was not enough to cobble these kinds of prototypes together for a short demonstration at a fair or art exhibition, but rather one in which they had to stand up to the real world of permanent exhibitions where they were on show six days a week, with only one day for maintenance and repair.
