Plumbing the depths of latent space
Stacked interpolation cycle – StyleGAN × floor plans pic.twitter.com/hKhYtQJ9Po— Erik Swahn (@erikswahn) May 17, 2019
This work by Erik Swahn depicts many floor plans stacked on top of one another. It was made using a StyleGAN (generative adversarial network). I chose this work because it is really satisfying to look at cross sections of things you wouldn’t normally see. I think that this work is especially imaginative because it paints a picture of a building that does not exist, so legitimately trying to imagine what this creation would look like from how we normally interact with buildings is a fun challenge. I think this technique of interpolated layers has a similar aesthetic to Robert Hodgin’s Meander that we saw earlier this year. I also just really like how this looks because of the way it is rendered; normally floor plans are so boring
