AI Generated Landscape Painting #4

Dense, almost as material as a tightly knit tapestry, "AI Generated Landscape Painting #4" pertains to Robbie Barrat's most surreal landscapes, created by training a GAN to produce a naturalistic view using thousands of landscape oil paintings as reference. While the initial results of this experiment were mostly realistic, with a neat separation between ground and waterfronts on the bottom, trees in the middle of the image and sky on its top, in later versions the neural network gave darker, increasingly confused outcomes. As in a bird's eye view or a picture made using a macro lens, this work seems to play with light and color as identified in nature by the fresh eye of an Impressionist. Rather than producing a recognizable landscape, the machine arranges these elements in a mechanic, more abstract way instead, almost challenging the viewers to find their own interpretation of it.
