Neural network art is quickly becoming a category in its own right, with programmers building on each other’s work to create more and more fantastical algorithm-generated images. After one researcher successfully created hyperrealistic (and hyper creepy) images of people in a recent project, another has taken those portraits and animated their eyes.
As you flip through the images of imaginary people that a computer and some complex code brought to life, it’s hard not to feel like they’re staring right at you with an all-too-human twinkle in their eyes.
