and finally
“The “ouroboros” method with Gen2.
Feeding the last frame from a 16s generation into another 16s generation, and so on. Like playing snake. I made 5 x 16s clips, joined them, and speed them up 3x.
The idea behind this experiment was to make gen2 forget as much as possible about the original input and start creating on its own. At the end it started shifting shapes, trying to land on something, and it finally decided to become a pink bubble.” – Leo Espinoza (@LeoEspinozaCine)
