Experiment with Geometry and Motion, variation II

[Scott Eaton @_ScottEaton_]

@mkturkcan great work. potentially very useful for a multi-class detection requirement we have. Excited to test it. 👍

[Scott Eaton @_ScottEaton_]

@cogspa @EpicArtFail @linuz90 @LinusEkenstam Thanks Joe. Quickly - my work is trained exclusively on my own data: photography and CG. It pre-dates 'internet scale' models (Stable Diffusion, MidJourney, etc). ML is a powerful tool when understood and used imaginatively, but I will always side with artists WRT copyright.

Layers of movement captured in abstraction:

@_ScottEaton_ ’s Contemplating Motion is like watching AI learn to dance with memory and light.

An ethereal play of forms, fading in and out like echoes of thought 👀

the secret is in the negative space.

[voyager evan (🐥,🪱) @itzevan]

One of the most fascinating artworks I've ever collected is 𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙮𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙙𝙨 by @_ScottEaton_. The piece merges hauntingly beautiful forms that shift between organic and inorganic shapes, creating a structure that feels alive

[Scott Eaton @_ScottEaton_]

@ChngsungJ89002 Yes, I believe so. 👍

@zachlieberman love this one Zach.

[Scott Eaton @_ScottEaton_]

@deviparikh Wow, big news. Best of luck with the next thing Devi, I am sure it will be great!

[Scott Eaton @_ScottEaton_]

Also running a drawing workshop at the VIEW Conference @ViewConference (tomorow). Two hours of drawing in the sketchbook, good old-fashioned fun.

[Scott Eaton @_ScottEaton_]

Excited to be giving a talk at the amazing @ViewConference titled "Out of Distribution - Thriving Creatively in the Age of AI" (https://t.co/NFxveTENUG).

The talk covers a lot of ground, but essentially it's about how we, as artists and creatives, need to think about situating our work and careers in relationship to this new, relentlessly disruptive technology.

I also share many examples of my AI/ML experiments, including a behind-the-scenes look at my recent takeover of Times Square. Hope to see you there!

Special thanks to @Lenovo and @nvidia for sponsoring this talk.

@theAliceRoberts @TimesSquareNYC Thanks Alice!

[Scott Eaton @_ScottEaton_]

My new experimental piece, Intersections, takes over the screens in Times Square, NYC @TimesSquareNYC for the entire month of August (3 minutes to midnight, every night). If your in the city and up late, check it out. More here: https://t.co/sDydatK8f5

[Scott Eaton @_ScottEaton_]

Excited to be giving a talk for @Google today titled, "Inside Pandora's Box: Bodies, Geometry & Internet-scale Intrigue". Lots of images, videos and reflections on my last six or seven years exploring machine learning / AI in my work.

[VIEW Conference @ViewConference]

@ViewConference announces that @_ScottEaton_ is a confirmed speaker attending in person. Meet your heroes!

@IrinAngles @NeurIPSConf lovely pose!

[Scott Eaton @_ScottEaton_]

My @NeurIPSConf talk for the "Machine Learning for Creativity and Design" workshop is online here:
https://t.co/08TZRyaofD

I talk about how I incoporate machine learning into my artistic practice, show the development of recent work, and also cover some best practices.

[befores & afters magazine @beforesmag]

A brand new @beforesmag podcast is here! It's @_ScottEaton_ and his in-depth take on generative art, Midjourney, A.I., neural networks, machine learning and what it means for artists. https://t.co/d9ucJTO6FR

[Scott Eaton @_ScottEaton_]

a few more from the same. Where the mask and prompt are not aligned, the semantic mask still gives very useful direction to the generator, but doesn't overly constain it. Here exploring abstract possibilities. #MakeAScene @MetaAI

[Scott Eaton @_ScottEaton_]

Excited to share a few additional experiments from @MetaAI 's Make-A-Scene. The compositional control is a powerful augmentation on top of the imaginative capabilities of these text-to-image models. These are all from the same semantic layout, just prompt variations.

[AI at Meta @AIatMeta]

“Make-A-Scene provides a level of control that’s been missing in other SOTA generative AI systems. Text prompting alone is constrained, often like wandering in the dark. Being able to control the composition is a powerful extension for artists & designers” - artist @_ScottEaton_

[Scott Eaton @_ScottEaton_]

Interestingly, if the text prompt is entirely unrelated to the categories prescribed in the label, Make-A-Scene uses the label only as loose guidance for compositional layout. Here are a few examples where the text prompts were wildly different from 'bowl,mirror,vase' categories.
