Project: Self-Portrait

This project was challenging because it was difficult to figure out the coordinates of points for the shapes so that they would be placed and sized properly.

LO – My Inspiration

One of my favorite works of computational art is the
installation “Machine Hallucination” by Refik Anadol. The installation was made by 18 people: Anadol, Nicholas Boss,
Maurizio Braggiotti, Efsun Erkilic, Carrie He, Daniel Seungmin Lee, Toby Heinemann, Ali Emre Karacali, Efe Mert Kaya, Pelin Kivrak, Ho Man Leung, Kyle McLean, Alex Morosov, Christina Moushoul, Raman K. Mustafa, Julia Pryde Thompson, Kerim Karoglu, and HyeJi Yang. Anadol created this project by creating a machine learning algorithm that he fed over 100,000,000 photographs of New York City. The algorithm creates “visual associations as it learns (1:12-1:15)” allowing it to generate imagined images of New York’s past, present, and future. Anadol says that his work was inspired by the writings of Stéphane Mallarmé, Susan Sonntag, and Jonathan Zittrain. I like this project because it generates ideas about cities and how they might change over time, and it conveys these ideas with mesmerizing visuals. As a student of Architecture, these ideas could be helpful in understanding the longevity of a project or visualizing how it will look after being used for a few years.
