Neural Zoo
2018-2022 By Sofia Crespo
AI is increasingly good at mimicking humans — but can it imitate nature? In Neural Zoo, artist Sofia Crespo ‘rearranges nature’ via machines in order to mirror humans’ disruption of the natural world. The inhabitants of Neural Zoo bear some recognisable features of real plants and animals remixed to form fantastical ones. The images are generated by neural networks, a form of AI by which computers learn to create their own new images based on a given dataset. Neural Zoo illustrates how AI might be used as an artistic tool to help speculate about the future of the natural world.
