MARIO KLINGEMANN | INFINITE DESCENT

 "INFINITE DESCENT is the result of my early experiments with custom-trained models and coupling them in feedback loops. A pix2pix model that I had trained on tens of thousands of engraved portraits found in the public domain collection of the British Library is feeding its outputs back into its inputs.

My fascination with feedback loops in neural networks stems from the fact that their emerging patterns tend to result in a distillation of the most prominent features they have learned—in this case, elements that make up faces: eyes, noses, and mouths in line-art fashion."
