38:T5c3,"Dirty Griffith" - 3840 x 2160 | 2m 45s. Video of the iconic Griffith Observatory fused with a photograph taken by Mohler of the bathroom walls inside the live music venue, 1720. Part of the “Painted Cities” series which explores the imaginative qualities of machine intelligence to create the memory and dream states of a city through the fusion of motion and ink. The digital paintings are created using multiple forms of Ai, especially Neural Style Transfer, to fuse videos with ink, texture, and photographs often from the surrounding area. “Painted Cities” explores how machine intelligence can be used as a tool to extend our imagination and when fused with human moments of familiarity can create visceral feelings of nostalgia. Part of the generative and Ai art movement. Premiered at Vellum LA and the LA Art Show Jan. 20th 2022. Full 4k, 2min 24sec video available on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/667590797/98b006a9e9 The process consists of first going out and filming moments from around Los Angeles, in this case specifically the famous Griffith Park. I look for moments with high levels of motion and architecture. I then go out and capture photographs from around the area with rich texture and color. I use neural style transfer with a particular set of rules to apply the textures and color of the photograph to the base texture of the input video, creating completely new imagery. Harnessing the machine as a tool to imagine
