Samir Bhowmik + Jukka Hautamäki “Panic Breeder presents a quasi-nature documentary of imaginary fantastical species as the future inhabitants of the Baltic Sea. Taking inspiration from the evolution of species theorized by Charles Darwin, it comments on the iterative and adversarial capabilities of Artificial Intelligence to probe the terrifying future of the “survival of the fakest”. The artwork uses GAN (Generative Adversarial Network), a class of machine learning systems, where two neural networks (Generative & Discriminative) compete with each other for several training sessions. The trainings utilize a large dataset of extinct and endangered birds of the Baltic Sea to generate new images.
