Screen Walk with Estampa
About this film
In this Screen Walk, the collective Estampa opened the very machine they use to develop AI projects and invite the audience to take part in a live journey into their own computer. The walk offered a tour behind the scenes of their work, revealing some of the processes and tools used by the collective to work with machine learning locally, rather than employing online platforms. It was also a journey through time and recent AI history, as the timeframe of Estampa's projects covers six years in which several techniques have changed and evolved in the field. During the walk, old and recent neural networks were used to generate images or text, and a computer vision tool will searched through 600000 images stored in their hard drive, experimenting with randomness and reflecting upon the medium. Screen Walks is a series of live-streamed artist/researcher-led explorations of online spaces and artistic strategies designed to illuminate a thriving – often overlooked – digital cultural scene. A new online collaboration between The Photographers’ Gallery , UK and Fotomuseum Winterthur , Switzerland.
