It’s up to you to determine how to best present your idea. Be prepared to present for a few minutes with visual aids. Show us your inspirations or make a prototype (even if it’s just on paper). At a minimum, prepare the following:
- Project Title:
- One sentence description: Can you summarize your idea in one sentence? Stick to the facts — what are you planning to make?
Project abstract: ~250 word description of your project. - Inspiration: How did you become interested in this idea?
- Visual reference: Drawings, photos, artworks, texts, or other media that relate to your idea.
- Audience: Who are you making the project for? How do you expect your audience to interact with your piece? What will their experience be like?
- Challenges: What is your biggest technical and/or conceptual challenge you anticipate?
- Code sketches: This is not required but if you have sketches in progress share them as additional links for feedback.

Yuma Yanagisawa – StyleGAN2 + UE4
“This artwork is part of my ongoing exploration of data sculptures/paintings. By hand-picking flower images online, I created a custom dataset and trained a GAN model on it. As a result, the model “dreams” of surreal flowers and repurposing them for fluid particles explores the intersection of AI, cinematography, generative design, and 3D in visual art.”
