Turkish artist Refik Anadol has used artificial intelligence to turn millions of photographs of New York into the Machine Hallucination film.
Anadol and his team created the 30-minute-long Machine Hallucination movie for digital art space Artechouse, located in Chelsea Market, New York.
The project used machine intelligence to source millions of photos of New York City and then processed them to create the visuals.

From the images the AI creates visuals of New York buildings and numbers and letters that are played out as if they are being filtered, alongside more abstract glacial forms that comprises chunky, colourful pixels.
Anadol likens the output to reshuffled memories of a human dream. He used a similar process to create the dream-like visuals projected across Frank Gehry's Walt Disney Concert Hall, but said that Machine Hallucination is "the peak point" of his exploration into artificial intelligence. To create the project Anadol trained the StyleGAN algorithm ? an open-source tool created by tech company NVIDIA to process photographs of New York and turn them into visuals perceptible to humans.

"I thought would happen if you took the same algorithm to simulate synthetic architectural memories of the city of New York," the Los Angeles-based artist told Dezeen.
"So it's a pretty fascinating way of collecting data and using AI to narrate the invisible world, invisible cultural collective memories of New York," he added. "You can cre...
