The Neural Net (2024-2025)

The Neural Net is a collaborative, participatory art installation, in which visitors build neurons and set their parameters to add them to the sculptural neural network — which generates images live, changing as visitors add their neurons.

Neural networks process data through many nodes. This network generates an image — and the neurons are contributed by you.

You can visit the interface at kblair.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/NeuralNet/ to explore the digital network and even make changes to its parameters to temporarily impact the image.

I will update here with future exhibitions of this work where you can add a neuron to the sculpture.
