In a previous blog, I asked the question of whether names are somehow connected with certain faces. CLIP projects text and images to the same latent space. I decided to see what happens if the names Karen and Kevin are projected into the StyleGAN2 latent space and then visualised by the generator. I must admit…

How did I make the interpolation at the end? A magician never reveals his secrets. Luckily I’m no magician. The answer is quite simple: I trained a StyleGAN2 model. When I trained the model I had, and as of writing still have, a single 1080 GTX. The 8GB memory on this machine has caused me…

“The word ‘onomatopoeia’ is also an onomatopoeia because it’s derived from the sound produced when the word is spoken aloud.” – Ken M Imagine ringing up a caveman. Utter astonishment on both ends of the line aside, what would you talk about? What could you even talk about? Without the accompanied pantomime it may even…

The images rendered in the browser from the previous posts don’t look anything like the images made in Chaotica. There are a few reasons for that: The number of iterations is comparatively low The colours are determined by fixed coordinates The previous colour of revisited pixels is not taken into account The image is not…

In high school, I thought that geometry was the most useless subject. It was mainly used to teach mathematical proofs that were supposed to be intuitive. They proved to be quite the opposite. If only my teachers would have shown that you need geometry to make fractals and games. I might have paid more attention….

Can something be deterministic, yet unpredictable? This is the question at the heart of chaos theory. Previously we’ve played the Chaos Game. If I were to give you a set of initial coordinates and a list of functions that are sequentially applied to these coordinates you would probably be able to eventually figure out the…

Loving Vincent is a movie very each frame was paintstakingly painted by hand. The film is from 2017, two years before the tool EbSynth entered the stage. Ebsynth lets you stylise keyframes and interpolates the rest of the frames for you. The film would’ve been finished much earlier if it were used, although it would…

In the previous post about making text in Chaotica, I introduced the Sierpiński Gasket. I got a complaint about it not being centrally symmetrical. So I decided to make a version of the Gasket that will annoy those preoccupied with symmetry. As always here’s the code. Try and see what it does and how it…
