Description: The process of the documentation is as follows, I screenshot, photograph, annotate my research and experiments in the notes app of my phone. After journaling, which is divided up into months, I screenshot the whole documentation again and print it out into physical files. These files become the crux of the work I produce. I pull from the various sources, ideas and techniques I have developed over time.

Here, I have submitted scans of the printed files, as this illustrates the digital to physical back and forth I operate in my work. The process becomes a work in and of itself.

Title: Do Androids Dream of Balenciaga SS29?

Description: Robbie Barrat Imagines a Future in which the Creative Director is a Computer: Using a corpus of Balenciaga runway shows, catalogues, and campaigns, a Pix2PixHD network was trained to reconstruct Balenciaga outfits from Densepose silhouettes. The results are outfits which are novel but at the same time heavily inspired by Balenciaga's past few years under Demna Gvasalia. The network lacks any contextual awareness of the non-visual functions of clothing, and in turn produces more strange outfits that completely disregard these functions.
