miniPODS

by Van Arman x mindshift x ricky

When multiple podGANs come together they often attract others. Sometimes, if the holder is lucky, the gathering will form into a miniPOD with mysterious new traits and abilities. 

Role: Born in the bitGANs discord, this project began when we asked what would happen if we fine-tuned the Disco Diffusion model using PVA's bitGANs and podGANs as a training set. Van Arman sent over the art and mindshift and I fired up the training scripts. I don't know what we expected, but the initial results looked promising. Out of this work, the miniPODs were born. As thanks, Van Arman gave us artist credit in addition to the bitGRANT we received for our time.
