Audio explanation
Listen to Puff Yachty discuss this work.
Puff is an avant-garde artist who has been sculpting his practice since his early days, tinkering with personal computer projects. His journey into the mesmerizing world of AI art began around 2018 or 2019 when he enrolled in a course with @fastdotai and @jeremyphoward.
Expecting to delve into machine learning algorithms, classification, and NLP, he stumbled upon computational creativity and neural style transfer. His very first AI creation, a photograph of himself transformed into the style of Vincent Van Gogh's "Starry Night," marked the beginning of a commitment to AI art. He is also drawn to experimental software development, groundbreaking new technology, and the esoteric.
