Okay, so, my computer had issues making more than fifty percent of a whole image on pix2pix, but I had fun? I think, honestly, that it’s so great that I live in a time where I get to see a computer make a Nightmare Cat based on a few lines I drew. (nightmare cat is the first image, despite not looking like a cat)

heimlich exhibits one which is identical with its opposite, unheimlich does not stand for things which are not identical, or identical with their opposite. The same applies to die unheimlich (though, perhaps, that should be pronounced einfach unheimlich rather than unheimlich).

Freud’s concept of “parapraxis,” the inadvertent slip of the tongue that reveals a hidden truth, applied to his theories about repression. Many people have described things that don’t make sense or seem disconnected in a particular scenario to be the result of suppressed memories, for example, someone being kidnapped and put in a basement for weeks in an abusive household where they were either starved or fed a slop-like food. A person coming to, having experienced a ton of conflicting emotions (which was essentially the default setting for them, since they had never been allowed to
I was trying to see if I could use this to finish my art history presentation in a believable way… turns out I cannot.

  • In the John Oliver video, I was really struck by the story of the Brown student getting falsely accused of a terrorist attack. With the current biases  in facial recognition technology, it is likely that stories like this will continue to occur. Our law enforcement agencies currently want to pin crimes to minorities – and this technology will only help them do that.
  • “Any face that deviates from the established norm will be harder to detect”- Joy Buolamwini –> This line sort of stuck with me. It is one of the points of the video and goes along with what I was saying before. The “norms” that exist in our culture are heavily rooted in white supremacy – so as Joy explains in the video – current facial technology accepts those conditions and uses them as norms.

What first caught my eye with this project was the texture of the masks. I am fascinated with certain textures, and these masks fall into that category. Some of them look like they could be rocks, and others look like a bunch of cotton balls stuck together or something. Even though it’s sort of not the point of the project, I am very intrigued by how they look. These masks are supposed to make a face unrecognizable to surveillance and facial recognition algorithms – and I think that this is a really interesting-looking approach to doing that.

  1. Pandas are the cutest animals in the world, and you’ve got to admire the skill involved in driving them back to their miserable home before they’re eaten or go on the run. This endangered species’ drive to mate is ferocious, as the pandas in the video above show, and this male has pretty much given up after suffering two near-fatal attacks. Incredibly, the male had to be carried back to the female panda enclosure by animal wrangler Roland Pfeifer, after the poor bear tried to defend herself by attempting to fight him off.
  2. JHope from BTS is part of the group and he has broken the internet with his latest Instagram pictures. The singer looks super adorable in a double denim look in the photo. K-pop boy band BTS’ Jin is mesmerising his fans with his latest Instagram photos. The fans were already amazed after seeing the photos that have been released from the video promotions, but now they are even more excited and cannot stop raving about the stunning pictures. In the photo, Jin is seen wearing a denim jacket and a pair of

After using this tool, I wonder where the data came from and where different correlations are made. For example, in mine, the one about BTS made more sense even though it’s a very specific category compared to pandas.
