Developing Creative AI to Generate Sculptural Objects
Ge, Songwei, Dill, Austin, Kang, Eunsu, Li, Chun-Liang, Zhang, Lingyao, Zaheer, Manzil, Poczos, Barnabas
We explore the intersection of human and machine creativity by generating sculptural objects through machine learning. This research raises questions about both the technical details of automatic art generation and the interaction between AI and people, as both artists and the audience of art. We introduce two algorithms for generating 3D point clouds and then discuss their actualization as sculpture and incorporation into a holistic art installation. Specifically, the Amalgamated Deep-Dream (ADD) algorithm solves the sparsity problem caused by the naive DeepDream-inspired approach and generates creative and printable point clouds. The Partitioned DeepDream (PDD) algorithm further allows us to explore more diverse 3D object creation by combining point cloud clustering algorithms and ADD. Keywords Partitioned DeepDream, Amalgamated DeepDream, 3D, Point Cloud, Sculpture, Art, Interactive Installation, Creative AI, Machine Learning Introduction Will Artificial Intelligence (AI) replace human artists or will it show us a new perspective into creativity? Our team of artists and AI researchers explore artistic expression using Machine Learning (ML) and design creative ML algorithms to be possible co-creators for human artists. In terms of AIgenerated and AIenabled visual artwork, there has been a good amount of exploration done over the past three years in the 2D image area traditionally belonging to the realm of painting.
The Myths of Our Time: Fake News
Rลฏลพiฤka, Vรญt, Kang, Eunsu, Gordon, David, Patel, Ankita, Fashimpaur, Jacqui, Zaheer, Manzil
While the purpose of most fake news is misinformation and political propaganda, our team sees it as a new type of myth that is created by people in the age of internet identities and artificial intelligence. Seeking insights on the fear and desire hidden underneath these modified or generated stories, we use machine learning methods to generate fake articles and present them in the form of an online news blog. This paper aims to share the details of our pipeline and the techniques used for full generation of fake news, from dataset collection to presentation as a media art project on the internet. Keywords: Fake news, Article generation, LSTM, RNN, Language model, Machine learning, AI, Media art, Internet art, Web, Blog, Human-AI Co-Creation Introduction Is fake news a new type of myth that people are creating in the age of internet and artificial intelligence? K. Shu et al says fake news can have many definitions, and one narrow definition is "a news article that is intentionally and verifiably false."
Hallucinating Point Cloud into 3D Sculptural Object
Li, Chun-Liang, Kang, Eunsu, Ge, Songwei, Zhang, Lingyao, Dill, Austin, Zaheer, Manzil, Poczos, Barnabas
Our team of artists and machine learning researchers designed a creative algorithm that can generate authentic sculptural artworks. These artworks do not mimic any given forms and cannot be easily categorized into the dataset categories. Our approach extends DeepDream from images to 3D point clouds. The proposed algorithm, Amalgamated DeepDream (ADD), leverages the properties of point clouds to create objects with better quality than the naive extension. ADD presents promise for the creativity of machines, the kind of creativity that pushes artists to explore novel methods or materials and to create new genres instead of creating variations of existing forms or styles within one genre. For example, from Realism to Abstract Expressionism, or to Minimalism. Lastly, we present the sculptures that are 3D printed based on the point clouds created by ADD.
