The Chair Project: Generative Models as Automatism

The Surrealist artists of the 20th century used a range of generative art making techniques called automatisms to stimulate their imagination. In this talk I will present a case study for using generative models as automatisms to co-design a series of objects with AI. Then, remembering a time when 128x128px GAN images seemed crisp, I will try to contextualize the frenzy of recent innovations in generative models.
