Description
Mytherrella is an interactive art installation which creates a dynamic environment collocating scientific data and mythological storytelling to transport the public into an imaginary world where all-sky scientific images of aurora take plenary part in the show through distortion into imagination, fears and myths of older populations from the North. The deep learning core generates real time video streams aided by a custom StyleGAN approach exploiting a model trained on a large set of all-sky auroral images recorded in Kiruna available from the public scientific domain. By combining the scientific dataset with a small number of alternative-style artistic images, the real data is subject to divergent effects that reinforces the mythological narrative. The installation allows live interaction with the AI generated, not- and un- real, “mythologically” altered all-sky-like auroral images although still within the bounds of the learned scientific based feature. Mytherrella was developed during an artistic residency in the Institute of Space Science Măgurele, Romania, organized by Qolony, Bucharest.
