Projection opus for videomapping contest in Lille (Jury Special Mention).
An experimental CG piece reflecting the everlasting flux of Time that grinds and blends everything down to fine sand. Produced with Deep Learning neural net.

Few dozens of key pictures have been picked as imprints of the human history, varying from archaic drawings and cuneiform to Picasso and modern photography. A neural net was selected as a mean to process this imagery on all levels up to the very atomic. It was seen quite symbolic and in line with the concept to let AI recycle the content instead of applying usual artistic manipulations.
Processed frames were fed again to Neural Net in feedback loops to reproduce impact of time and to create organic flow. Eventually the process washed out the original features, leaving only meditative flame streaming upon the ancient architecture of the building.
No other edits/VFX were used for the work.

Second part was produced in 2019 for 'Intervals' festival in Nizhny Novgorod.
It processed historical architectural forms into sophisticated patterns. Usage of Riemann geometry in the neural network graph unexpectedly resonated with quite fantasy shapes from the worlds of legends.
