NEUROGENERATIVE ART WORKSHOP BY DMITRY TOCHILKIN

Summer workshop series continues!

YARAT Contemporary Art Space invites you to a 4-day neurogenerative art workshop with Dmitry Tochilkin.

At a four-day workshop, Dmitry Tochilkin will talk about new opportunities in computer graphics that modern neural networks open up. Technologies that have emerged over the past few years allow you to create paintings in seconds, using only a text user request. Progress in this area is rapid and soon the use of neural networks in graphics will be ubiquitous.

In this workshop, we will look at the capabilities and limitations of modern neural networks, understand their principles of operation, and discuss the new ethics of creating neurogenerative works of art.

This workshop will be of interest to artists, illustrators, motion and web designers, as well as anyone who would be interested in understanding new technologies and creating amazing graphic works using neural networks.
