Machine Hallucinations
Refik Anadol Studio
Ongoing exploration of data aesthetics based on collective visual memories of space, nature, and urban environments. Showing us the possibility of what could happen if a machine becomes able to emulate the human mind's subconscious processes.
Anadol and his team collect data from digital archives and publicly available resources, then process millions of photographic memories with machine learning classification models. The sorted image datasets are then clustered into thematic categories to better understand the semantic context of the data universe.
Since 2016, Anadol has been utilizing machine intelligence as a collaborator to human consciousness, specifically DCGAN, PGAN and StyleGAN algorithms trained on vast datasets to reveal unrecognized layers of our external realities.
