Exercise 1
Continuation
After the first exercise with myself as the test subject, I tried with my mother of a older age group suggested by Andreas to see the difference in outputs as well as her reaction towards AI at the end of the exercise.
Observations
Through the exercise, I found out that comparatively, there was more thought put through when it’s being drawn. An example could be the how drawings are unconventional and how the drawings are being constructed as well. The concern raised was more towards how the AI outputs are emotionless and issue of mimicry towards another person. It also points out how data is perceived by human and machine, while data could often be influenced by many reasons while machine has a set of “rules” that conform data.
Streamdiffusion
Moving away from the exercise, I decided to get hands on with Touchdesigner and with the help from the youtube tutorials by Dotsimulate, he was able to bridge Stable Diffusion to Touchdesigner with the tool provided by signing up to his Patreon. Therefore, I paid membership to his Patreon to gain access to his content and tools.
Showcasing Catalogue of Making
Catalogue of Making To be frank, I was really disappointed with my own progress and I felt that I was lacking behind everyone. However, through a short conversation with Andreas, the topic of “What’s a Good Data?” was brought up again which made me think if I should dwell into it and how I could relate my current research towards that direction.
