Four people gather around a dinner table, acting as family. The table is set with sound, projection, and text, eliciting something familiar yet disturbing. Each “family” is processed through the logic of GAN via different machine learning networks which are trained on a dataset of “Perfect Family Dinners,” and sees participants through that lens. The output projected is a distortion, revealing an attempt to fill in the gaps between fantasy and reality. Looking into these outputs we found hidden pockets of error and loss.
This interactive installation embodies Machine learning processes, offering insight into the inner world of GAN (generative adversarial network).
