ADVENT VISTA
AI Animation Series

The world is changing all around us. It has been for a long time now. The reality we perceive today is only a fragment of what once was, and a precursor of what is soon to come. We might not notice the change, but it is there, and it notices us…

The Advent Vista series was spawned from a trip taken across the Southwestern United States. Video taken at various stops along the route was used to “train” a Machine Learning neural network, recognizing visual patterns within the imagery. The network then recreated those images to the best of its ability. The images were then strung together to create a series of morphing landscapes, almost as surreal as the landmarks they were made to mimic.
