A composition of deep reds and dynamic shadows, this image is the visual echo of the phrase "flames of red fire," realized through the interpretative power of AttnGAN. The artwork captures the vibrant essence of fire, its movement frozen in time, yet suggesting an inherent fluidity. The interplay of light and texture crafts an ambience that is both warm and inviting.
Channeling the fire myths of the world, Prometheus, the Phoenix, the gods of the sun and flame. A story of technology brought to humans; to myths of destruction and rebirth. To be immortal; to be a god; it is always a paradox of fire and technology. The morality of the fire is always in question but we desire it and fear it. And yet it has changed us, we have learned so much since we first touched fire. We used it to destroy the wood, smelt the metal and build the chip. And now we teach and show the fire what we know; what we create and our reflection is there telling us our faults. The GAN is but a single neuron in a blazing star; a greater fire is coming.

Elman Mansimov led a team of developers who created the alignDRAW model in 2015. alignDRAW’s innovation was to flip the process and turn text into image. The artwork from alignDRAW was first published in the academic paper, ‘Generating Images from Captions with Attention’.|2015|https://arxiv.org/pdf/1511.02793.pdf
