Keep Running-AI Paintings of Horse Figure and Portrait

"Keep Running"is a collection of human and machine generated paintings using a generative adversarial network technology. The horse artworks are produced during the lockdown period in the Middle East due to the Covid-19. Many recent AI artworks are either generated in photo-realistic style, or abstract style with distorted faces, fragmented figures and a combination of unknown objects. Besides the cultural and historic symbols that horses represent in this region, what's unique with our work is showing the possibility of using AI to create horse paintings with distinguishable features and forms, while still rendering different aesthetic and even sentimental expressions in the horse paintings. Our first artwork is a series of storytelling-like paintings of an evolving horse figure in motion with changing backgrounds. Another one is a set of different horse portrait paintings that are presented in a grid with each of them evolved and generated stylishly from the same yet repeated machine processes. Our AI artworks are not just artistic and meaningful, but also paying a salute to the early works of machine-assisted art by Eadweard Muybridge and Andy Warhol, for their influences to the art world today.
