the pieces designed for THE CHILD OF MAN
were created using bigGAN + styleGAN
artificial intelligence technology
through the site “ARTBREEDER.”

 “ARTBREEDER aims to be a new type of creative tool that empowers users creativity by making it easier to collaborate and explore. Originally Ganbreeder, it started as an experiment in using breeding and collaboration as methods of exploring high complexity spaces. Artbreeder is named after the research of Picbreeder which investigated the role of exploration in the optimization process.” - ARTBREEDER (ABOUT PAGE)

all images were generated by the AI technology using the “genetics” of imputed images (PARENTS.)

 images can then be crossbreed with the option to further add/alter/modify the resulting image(s) (CHILDREN.)

additionally, the genetics of images created using ARTBREEDER “can be [further] used, edited, and mixed” by other creators allowing for intricate lineages of genetics/traits.
