Metadata Angels

Metadata Angels explores the angelic figure through the digital gaze.
The project uses an open-source StyleGAN2-ada model trained on thousands of Flickr images. Anything with the keyword “angel,” from Renaissance paintings to Second Life avatars, was incorporated into the dataset.

Perhaps the angels of our time have arrived as images evacuated of will and identity—no more real than imitation, yet more telling than reality itself.
