The Library

Nancy Burson, a pioneer of synthetic photography, developed a system to fuse multiple images in to a new composite. One of her early explorations in the late 70's was the "aged" transformation, taking a photo of a person and predicting what they would look like later in life. Reminiscent of GANs but 35+ years before.

I❤️books because they are humbling and prove that most of the time things you do have already been done before. I discovered Burson's work after releasing 'Dead Precedence', a composite system of generative paintings of US presidents. https://ryanthompson.name/project-dead-precedence
