A good neighbour is a dog on the street who says that he is a conscience of the state of the world.
Guillaume has built a career and reputation by breaking the rules. Guillaume's shoot-from-the-hip style has made him an effective lawyer and a slick character.
THE SELF-REALIZATION OF A TREE (2017) is an ongoing collaboration between Matt Maurer and Guillaume Massol. The project explores the possibility of a machine abandoned in the woods to learn what it takes to be a tree. Starting out on a crude level of visual mimicry, we hope to create an artificial tree that learns enough about its own nat…

I love you for the day (ILYFTD) is an installation by Matthias Maurer and Guillaume Massol situated at the unlikely intersection between mass surveillance and poetry. The installation is looking around, focusing from time to time on passers-by. Once focused on a person it’s tracking his/her face and breaks it down into fragments, generati…

Machine daydreaming... The app is watching videos coming from different training datasets. As it watches the videos it generates sentences loosely based on what is happening on the screen. Sometimes creating pearls of wisdom by coincidence. Visit that page if you want to see the final result, alternatively you can watch a video extract of…

I'm watching this words, I'm thinking they stretch the fair
I'm listening now, The data throw to him for the breath
I'm playing beyond their dream, I'm dreaming to learn.

Variation on a theme for a design culture workshop. The verses are generated by a RNN trained on British poetry. A good neighbour is left out of sight, and in the next room he steps his face like a ghost’s skin. A good neighbour is a good song: The last of my mother is a dream of flesh and all is a bird that makes me think that the w…

Produce a "smart entity" by harnessing intensive differences of matter (i.e. differences of intensive material properties). Intensive differences drive processes. For another short project we were asked to produce an entity that can only exist/make sense/function within the field of the poles of intensive material properties (temperature…

Assemble, combine, compile, translate 12 discerned and randomly gathered objects by one of your peers into a single rigorous and comprehensive narrative This is a brief for a short project we worked on. It was my first attempt to experiment with ML. The project is broken down in 3 'small' experiments: 01 - Objects-Viewer 02 - Image “Paint…

Experiments in music creation using RNN. The "classic" technic to generate music with a RNN is to aggregate songs in ABC notations and train a model on those. Since ABC notation is "just" a succession of letters and symbols we can get a lot of musical data in a text file weighting only a few Mb. This allow us to quickly train some model…
