Knitting with GANs
A selection of knits made in collaboration with generative adversarial networks (GANs) and produced on a domestic knitting machine. A GAN was trained on 100s images of vintage knitting machine patterns. 1000s of new patterns were generated, from which I selected a number to punch into punchards. A total of 900 non-repeating rows were punched by hand and knit on my 1970s knitting machine. The project explored knitting as a material metaphor for considering the interlock, reality producing exchange of human and machine intelligences.
