> We explore art as the being, being raised generatively. Yet to discover the truth of its origins in its full, yet to find all the proofs needed, we perform experiments of any kind. We search for similar laws between visual, audial and tangible. As we are the initiative of researchers from different areas, developers, designers, as well as specialists in neural networks, our topics to investigate have close to no limits.
> We always treat the unexpected as the grounding for a new research, so please report to us if you face something of that kind. Also, feel free to drop us a line or two, if you have any ideas or just some warm words, as well as cold criticism.
Wtf is that shit lol
Is the point of this that we all know it's AI-generated? Is the entire website, far from advertising any kind of real program, an art installation of some kind?
Also, the tools seem to be of very low quality. For example, many of the sliders are set to initial values that are 'tuned' to give a typical example. Most sliders have fairly large ranges for which (it seems) only a small sub-range typically yields interesting results. Their 'Random' button doesn't seem to be weighted toward these subranges, so the result is usually a bunch of extreme settings that all look similar.
So no, not Russian.
The top 'gradient' demo links me to an Internal JetBrains site, and is broken.
But the "Dots" one works, and can be used to make pretty stuff.
