One piece of generative art that I have been most inspired by is the AI-generated fashion designs by Robbie Barrat. As AI is the up and coming technology that is being tested in numerous fields of business and science, it was very interesting to see it in action in the realm of art.
Robbie Barrat trained an AI model with numerous data from Balenciaga including their look books, campaigns, and magazines. The system then used the given data to create a whole new collection of Balenciaga inspired clothing line photos. The design is notable for its striking resemblance to existing styles that the designers of the brand has created. However the touch of the AI driven mechanism gives the designs an eerie touch that helps the new works of art stand out.
Although the results were not completely ready for immediate production, this work of art points to a path of incorporation of sophisticated artificial intelligence data analysis for art and fashion. Robbie Barrat’s combination of scientific intelligence and artistic sense produces high-level pieces of work that will inspire a new era of digital art.
