This is the most complete and extended opus from the ongoing series, exploring complexity emergence, based on the feedback loops. Multidomain image-to-image transforming neural network StarGAN2 has been used here recurrently, reprocessing its own output without additional inputs. The models have been trained on both figurative imagery and abstract art, to enrich and intensify visual & semantic experience. Moreover, part of the training data was synthetic itself: few source datasets were generated with custom StyleGAN2 models, adding another layer of mediation to distance even farther from the real. What we eventually get is an ever-changing shape-shifting loosely controlled abstract flux, which appears more lifelike and expressive on its own, than obscure resemblance of the origin flesh, stuck in neural convolutions.

Episode 3 of our magazine “Hometown Journal” takes a scenic voyage through time, from the past to the future, revealing creative perspectives on social classes and norms. It is meant to educate and unify, lifting taboos on unspoken topics that concern all of us. Get Episode 3 of our magazine here: https://bit.ly/3QuFPIg With this film, we have set ourselves the goal of bringing the process of printing back into our consciousness. The fast-moving nature of the Internet has many advantages, but it also has certain disadvantages. The state of the eternal, the imperishable, and the analog have attracted us since we started making films and we wanted to combine these goals with bookbinding and filmmaking. This film was made possible with the energy and skill of our friends: 2nd Camera/Camera Assistants Mo Schinn & Zoé Paula, Colorist Christian Richter, Title Design Zoé Paula, Music Max Marius Dick and Band & Stckman with Kyle Quest and Bone Slim, Sounddesign Henric Schleiner. “How to Make A Magazine” – Produced, filmed, directed, and edited by Hometown. 2022
