“In 2018 I created a series of experiments titled “Neural Glitch” in which I deliberately manipulated the inner weights of custom trained GANs by permuting and altering them.

As a result, these models that had originally been tasked to enhance the inputs they were given started to misinterpret those inputs both on an esthetic and a semantic level.”

I chose to reflect on this artist and because I found the result amazingly like the work of Francis Bacon, I began researching his work.

I mixed the art of Bacon with the food bacon to create a grotesque art that is combining the texture of the flesh with the art of the painter.

After I managed to create a good composition, I wanted to give it a bit more surreal atmosphere, so I animated a part of the painting I created. The result is a homage to the artist and his work.

Modeles used:

lambdal/image-mixer:23d37d11

yoyo-nb/thin-plate-spline-motion-model:382ceb8a

This is the final result, followed by the original photographs I used:

I pushed the model to create an animation:
