I fed an AI with my Augmented Klecksography Paintings, the so called PREMATURE artworks.

The metamorphosis generated by the neural network created a new kind of textures and aesthetic, a PREMATURE FLESH born from what it once was acrylic augmented by digital photography.

The frame from which this animation is based on has been taken from the StyleGAN2 training at the following parameters:

Dataset: Selection of 70 PREMATURE artworks

Session Training Steps-Hours: 6000 – 6

Overall Training Steps-Hours: 9000 – 9

85 is the number I gave to the selected frame.

PREMATURE FLESH was developed for the PREMATURE NFTs A/V installation presented at Funkhaus Berlin for Signals Festival on October 15th-16th 2021.
