GAN generated sequence, part of an ongoing exploration in Artificial Life ( www.artificialremnants.com ) ~ ~ "These do not attempt to impersonate existing insects, but rather embody an insectile "essence" born from the training of machine learning algorithms upon datasets of existing insects leading to novel, non-human understandings of the natural. Their diversity and decidedly digital qualities are in complementary contrast to the unsurpassable creativity of natural selection but can act as a prism with which approach new perspectives and appreciation of the vulnerable, non-human world we too often take for granted."
