Using Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to create new furniture using every image from the IKEA catalogue. Results were built and rendered using 3D modelling software, much like the rest of the IKEA catalogue. A second neural network decided the name of each product by learning every existing name in the catalogue and suggesting new ones. A visualisation of the cognitive difference in machine vs organic thought. AI assistance (Siri, Alexa) is too often boiled down to subservient slaves. What’s often overlooked is the creative potential in a machine’s alternative thought process, breaking us free from our organic ruts.
