Latent Spacecraft pertains to latent space as an interiority of AI which can be made navigable. The piece tests this idea for fiwGAN (for Featural InfoWaveGAN), a speech-generating artificial neural network by @begus.bsky.social et al - see latentspacecraft.antikythera.org cc @ninabegus.bsky.social
"Latent Spacecraft: Brains, GANs, Finnegans" (DOI 10.1162/ANTI.5KP1) creates a craft to explore the interior space of a GAN. By @ninabegus.bsky.social @metahaven.bsky.social & @begus.bsky.social Interface(s) by @metahaven.bsky.social & Riccardo Petrini - latentspacecraft.antikythera.org

“I hope that our research encourages academics to build their own models and to collaborate more with humanists and artists. Humanistic insights should be at the forefront of AI development,” Nina said.

Very few artworks have the actual model running in real time and generating outputs on the go.
Below is a GAN model trained on Finnegans Wake audio, FinneGAN.

As AI becomes ever more interwoven in daily life, new research from Nina Beguš, PhD ’20, and Gašper Beguš, PhD '18, is beginning to map out machine learning’ "latent space," the hidden mathematical ar...
Art doesn’t change the world directly; yet we persist in wanting it to. This book argues for a different understanding of art. In these urgent times, we need to rethink the purpose and effects of art—...
Scientists have traditionally treated the internal mathematical layers of artificial intelligence — often described as AI’s “black boxes” — as too abstract and complex for humans to fully interpret. B...
