The raw intensity of fire with the subtle contours of the human form, a digital homage to the classic interplay of light and shadow found in nude paintings, rekindled through the modern forge of GAN. Inspired by Robbie Barrat's Ai Nudes. Channeling the fire myths of the world, Prometheus, the Phoenix, the gods of the sun and flame. A story of technology brought to humans; to myths of destruction and rebirth. To be immortal; to be a god; it is always a paradox of fire and technology. The morality of the fire is always in question but we desire it and fear it. And yet it has changed us, we have learned so much since we first touched fire. We used it to destroy the wood, smelt the metal and build the chip. And now we teach and show the fire what we know; what we create and our reflection is there telling us our faults. The GAN is but a single neuron in a blazing star; a greater fire is coming. One of 200 unique pieces of art in Painting With Fire: A History in GANs. Exploring the history of generative adversarial networks GAN as represented by fire. https://bardionson.com/painting-with-fire Inspired by Barrat's nude model but restrained from scratch on nude paintings from wikiArt and images of fire.
