Hypercinema Week #4

ArtLine: This creates line art from an image. I found this model interesting immediately. I think it has potential for a lot of reasons. It could be used to expedite the animation process by creating amazing line art from real photos. It'd be good way to incorporate real locations or people into animation easily. I also think it could be interesting as a way for non-artists to convert their pictures into a drawing. It could also be used as a learning tool for artists to better see what parts of an image to emphasize in line art and where to shade. For my concept, I would upload a series of images from a piece of media and create a manga style page with the results in illustrator or photoshop. It'd be cool to see how quickly and easily we could make things like that with this.

Style2Paints: This automatically colorizes line art. I think this would be an interesting part 2 to the ArtLine model. I would put a set of photos through ArtLine to create line art and then put those generated images through Style2Paints to color them. In the end, I could make a manga panel where the entire production process was done by AI.

BigGAN: This generates a series of images in a chosen category. I can use this to generate the images that I then put through the ArtLine model, and subsequently through Style2Paint. Using synthetic media to generate the images that I feed through the other models ensures that the resulting project is purely created through synthetic media.

Feeling Patterns Assignment #1

 P5.js code I wanted to explore patterns that aren't really repetitive in an obvious pattern way but that we still try to make sense of. Specifically, I remember someone mentioning raindrops on a window as one of the patterns they noticed and it stuck out to me because raindrops on a window isn't really a repetitive sound. The size of the drops, the amount, and the time between drops all vary every time. So why then does it stand out as a pattern? Probably because we try to make sense of the new pattern as the sound evolves and over time it all starts to sound the same. It is consistent in it's inconsistency.  For this project, I decided to play around with the sound of raindrops and specifically creating patterns and then breaking them with new patterns. Each segment is composed of a pattern. For example, short length clips spaced out evenly, but then layered with more short length clips spaced out evenly but at a different start point and some long length clips spaced out

Sharpie Research

Research Process (Why I Made The Decisions I Did):        In class, I proposed the pen (not really a specific one) as my research topic. It was an on-the spot decision because I felt that pens had a lot of research potential. They have gone through several iterations and will continue to be relevant. Since early civilization we've invented some form of writing tool so I thought that pens would have a rich history to delve into and plenty of symbolic significance. However, once I dove into the actual researching aspect of the project, I realized that the pen's long and diverse history was actually detrimental to the creative process. There were too many valid angles to approach this project from and I was becoming overwhelmed. While researching the economic data of pen's sales over the years I encountered an article about Sharpies in particular. I then decided to switch over my research from pen's in general to the Sharpie brand.     With this new goal in mind, I switch
