HOW THEY WERE MADE
Using a system called SPADE-Face trained on celebrity faces from the CelebA dataset, Bård Ionson learned to manipulate the model and generate ugly, freaky, unexpected faces.
The faces were then animated using First Order Model — now they have something to say.
Only 50 were ever created. The process of misusing AI to generate art that the AI was never meant to make.
