“Williamsburg Hearts” — 3840 x 2160 | 1m 30s. Ai neural style transfer treatment of footage of the Williamsburg Bridge taken by Mohler in 2021. A continuation of the "Painted Cities" series which explores the subconscious of Ai and painted video. Part of the generative and Ai art movement. Full 2min 37sec video available for collectors upon request. The process consists of first going out and filming moments around New York, in this case specifically the famous Williamsburg Bridge. I look for moments with high levels of motion and architecture. I then go out and capture photographs from around Neighborhood with rich texture and color. I use neural style transfer with a particular set of rules to apply the textures and color of the photograph to the base texture of the input video, creating completely new imagery. Harnessing the machine as a tool to imagine. Sound by Luke Mombrea
