- Project title.
- ZINE regarding Machine Learning: models, impacts, ethics, art.
- One sentence description: Can you summarize your idea in one sentence? Stick to the facts — what are you planning to make?
- I am planning to make a 16 page zine that is composed primarily of content developed by machine learning models.
- Project abstract: ~250 word description of your project.
- The goal is to create a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between Machine Learning and the Art world. I plan on doing this through the development of a zine which contains content created by machine learning models. This content will be a combination of visual art, poetry and prose, and pose/body based artistic content. Additionally, the zine will contain short essays and observations. Through playing with the traditional form an ethos of the zine, I believe that a level of irony and intrigue will be created in the reader that other formats might not be able to provide.
- Inspiration: How did you become interested in this idea?
- I like zines, I’m bad at coding, I love arguing.
- Visual reference: Drawings, photos, artworks, texts, or other media that relate to your idea.
- I am on the ITP adjacent team responsible for developing their fall zine, and so in that way I am close to the visual element. Further, I hope to develop a collage energy and tone as well.
- 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?
- I am making the zine for people who might not understand the relationship between art and machine learning, and more importantly, how that relationship is developing at present.
- Challenges: What is your biggest technical and/or conceptual challenge you anticipate?
- developing thee eclectic tone that is often found in zines, learning InDesign, creating a well rounded argument through the collage of content.
- Code sketches: This is not required but if you have sketches in progress share them as additional links for feedback.
