HORIZONS is a journey into a city dreamed by neural networks. Inspired by the Ed Ruscha book “Every Building on the Sunset Strip,” the artists trained special AI software to generate an endless street view of a fantasy city.

‍

The piece has five related, infinite horizontal views, from top to bottom:

(1) The images that the neural net learns from – from Hong Kong, the Netherlands, Cappadocia, and more

(2) An endless list of possible patterns

(3) The endless elevation of the dream city, composed of a selection of fantasy buildings

(4) The unique “fingerprints” of each new building

(5) An archive of every new building created by the neural net.

‍

HORIZONS invites you to step into a city that bridges human and machine imagination.
