Mosaic Virus and Myriad (Generating new images of tulips)

Brief description

A neural network is trained on images of various tulips that the artist has labled and classified by hand in the work Myriad (Tulips). Using the trained networks new "botanical impossibilities"are generated shown in a video named Mosaic Virus. Another parameter affecting the tulips appearance is the fluctuating value of bitcoin.

Notes
Linda:
Sentiments:
Helpful because it is a tool to visualize bitcon value and it's fluctuation
Wondrous/Ave because it creates these "botanical impossibilities" and emphasizes a general ave about AI
(or should this rather be Exiting/ discuss when defining the Wondrous/Ave tag)

Linda:
Who/What is being viewed.
Needs a tag: Targeted Objects

I treat both the dataset and the generated images under the entity Image (Linda)
