About the Item

‘New Look’ is a series of generative landscapes. They are neuro-photographs that convey an initial impression of Vladivostok. The series shows the image of the city through the eyes of those who see it for the first time, who are unaware of its history, when they are first surrounded by the local fog, the humid air, the endless sea and hills. Like a child, the neural network doesn’t know any background, it is taught from scratch. The artists gave instructions on the basis of photographs taken on the first day in Vladivostok in order to analyse whether these impressions coincide with the feelings of people living in the city, the inhabitants who see it every day. The authors conducted a survey among passers-by on the central streets:

“What do you see in these pictures, what feelings do they evoke?”

Here are a few replies from local people:

“Looks like my school... Oh, and there’s the path to the stadium!”

“June, July: non-stop rain.”

“Everything seen through the fog. Just like here, in our city... A sense of calm.”

“The pictures show rainy June and July.”

“Here’s the lighthouse and the sea.”

“Buildings in the fog.”

This work was created during the ‘Understand Vladivostok: Fort City, Resort City’ expedition, as part of the Technological Art master’s programme at the National Research Technological University MISiS, 2022.
