This artwork, Peony Dream, is Inspired by the classic Chinese play, The Peony Pavilion. Using NVIDIA StyleGAN, Sha1 algorithm, and Omniverse Kaolin, Ting Song generates a unique cyber Peony to carry people’s secret love manifesto in hashes.

Traditional Chinese poetry comes to life using AI as brushes, a digital canvas, and a virtual gallery
The Experience
The Process
As an example, the Kaolin and DIB-R models used in this creation frequently switched from a StyleGAN2-generated flowers dataset to a 3D model dataset based on Kaolin to find the intriguing images from 2D to 3D and 3D to 2D. Then, the images were overlaid and twisted and ultimately made into physical prisms.
Modeling with Ting Song’s face, 花神 uses Audio2face to read poems in Peony Dream Drama. All w4a-format sound can be read out by the models.
Ting Song recorded the flowers that accompanied her in the physical world during the summer, and injected them into a generative neural network. Using GAN models and AI, Ting Song generates unique flowers that don’t exist in the physical world.
About Ting Song
Ting Song is an AI artist and sci-fi writer. She’s the author of China’s first GAN-generated AI artwork sold by traditional art auction houses. Her 2020 individual exhibition “The Recyborg Cathedral and Bazaar” is China’s first-ever art exhibition featuring artwork created by algorithm and human.
Ting Song specializes in using AI technology to create artwork expressing her thoughts on info-tech philosophy, meta-being, and the tradition of Chinese ethnic arts. She has also worked with scientists and open-source projects to research labs in quantum computing, neuromorphic computing, and privacy computing from various countries. Her years of experience in open-source tech campaigns have shaped her influence on the community of developers.
