AI generates a data set from other images. This data is then inputted into VVVV (animation software) which generates the particle visuals. There's a leap between craft and the artistic statement as the visuals aren't reliant on the data you input... it could literally be any random set of data. This reduces the importance of his 'machine dreaming' type works to just pretty visuals. I guess that's the problem with technologically driven art. The absence of human indeterminism makes this work easy to replicate if you have the right tech. It's more impressive to me how well he manages to sell his works through the description of his concept. He manages to make it seem like this is a new step in art. But that's not the case when you look at how it operates. Still looks cool... Rafik's work thrives on it's audiences lack of understanding of the medium he works within with a nice side of rhetoric and a big budget
I don't know how the software works, but I would assume you still need to craft the visuals and specify how parameters change them. I would guess you can't just give it arbitrary data and say ok thanks pal animate that. I think his work is more than feeding numbers into a computer.
