Bezalel Art and Technology Lab is an ‘art and technology’ unique research project in deep learning and its implications, it takes place in Bezalel academy of art and design Jerusalem. The project is led by two artists with a scientific background, Miri Segal (Ph.D.) and Nir Harel. We take a group of students and teach them DL/ML with a focus on networks pertaining to image, 3d, and sound. Following the course, the students join the lab in which they participate in one of two continuous research projects: the first on visualization of the network (microscope & lucid) where we attempt to create a personalized interactive ‘Dream Machine’ that travel through the network and produces video in real-time. The second project concentrates on creating realistic 3d hybrids from 2d photos and GML models using among other tools TensorFlow and kaolin.
