Mindblowing Visualisation! Dive Into Many Abstraction Layers And Enjoy "Noisedive" By Johan Nordberg - Steemfest [Part4]
Let me tell you about a talented and very interesting young steemian I met in Lisbon who sat next to me at one of the well organised dinners @steemfest in Lisbon.
How much better can it be to enjoy a delicious meal with green pea soup and Portuguese fish, next to @sneak @timcliff and Johan Nordberg from Sweden who works with STINC. He calls himself "Contemporary JavaScript and Grapefruit Engineer".
Our wonderful chat was one of my highlights!
It's rare that I meet people I enjoy talking that much. Sorry Johan that I might have kept you away from your other dinner neighbours for too long with all my questions. I had a great time and wanted to thank you, wish you a great future ahead with your lovely family. It was more than a real pleasure meeting you and I can't wait to hear from you again because you still owe me a present and teach me how to be a "hacker". Hahaha! Joke aside....
I don't even know if you have a steemit account. If so, give me a sign because I hope you don't mind to call you my newest "Steemian Crush'es" :) You are special and your art projects even more.
Johan likes to do things on the internet with computers, as he says and please take time to watch all of his awesome videos to know what he makes!
I was impressed about his kind and charismatic personality but blown away when he told me about his mad cool project and art installations. He showed me only one videoclip called NOISEDIVE, one of his creations and since then I couldn't get it out of my mind to write an article to let you know about it.
Here is the VIMEO link in case the video doesn't show in this post.

This is what emerges when you recursively feed noise to a artificial neural network trained to recognise places (e.g. you give it an image and the response is something like 90% beach , 20% desert, 2% swimming pool).The familiar shapes you see floating past is abstractions the network has made for the different categories. Some categories feature more prominently because the amount of images used to train them differ. For example the "fountain" category contains 111,496 images compared to only 883 in the "nuclear_power_plant" one. So that's why you see a lot more fountain like shapes than big chimneys. There's a lot more to it than that of course, and this visualisation only shows you one of the many abstraction layers the network uses.- Johan Nordberg
Here is his Twitter account and some of Johan's favourite places/images from this dive.
Thanks again! Steemfest3 it is!

Ciao @mammasitta! 👋 😊 Thank you for all your kind words. It was really nice meeting you at steemfest! I really enjoyed our chat as well, I hope I get the chance to visit you in Bali sometime and check out all those cool statuettes (and work on your hacker skills ofc 😅)
steem steem steem steem steem!
OMG ! Here you are!
Can't find enough words for those clips, I watch at least once a day.
I had to bake some special brownies for this hahaha!
onARTBali in work for you....We need to do this for real! All of "IT".
Keep me updated when your "Angel" arrives!
Yes let's do it! Here's a video you probably haven't seen yet :)
Grazie tanto! Danke schoen for those " Eyes"
Astonishing visuals. The first one reminded me of the cave systems underneath Rome. Lovely post @mammasitta
Cant get enough of this .....:)
I've seen computer visualisations back in the 1990's based on the Mandelbrot set of equations. These are quite different. This one above is mind bogglingly complex. How it was achieved? I have no idea but it is brilliant.
There's some info with links to the research paper and example code in the video descriptions on my vimeo page if you really want to dig into it :)
Thanks for the link @almost-digital I'm off to investigate this fascinating topic further.
maybe the artist @almost-digital has the answer :)
I am only diving in ....
I just looked up Mandelbrot because I never heard about it
Wow!
That is awesome art but after watching the video, eyes were feeling like something is zooming out in the still images also. Did you notice it?
Maybe Cannabis might help ....Hahahaa
Of course, yes I did notice :) so trip!
Here is another one
It was great meeting you there as well :)
Oh Yes indeed it was Tim and thanks again for your help when I needed it. You always replied fast when I had questions.
The last video is totally amazing, i've just been starring and starring and floating :D
The Nosedive is absolutely crazyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!
Trippy. :) I feel I may need some additional substances to fully appreciate this art.
hahaha! I baked some Christmas Cookies .....Should I send some? :)
Fascinating art work!
Now I realize why you were so impressed by these young artist ;)
Na Das ist aber eine Überraschung :) Ja Jetzt weisst Du es .....Unglaublich toll! BTW , You english is perfect :)
Für Dich
Thank you for this (English) and that (Vidoe) and above all for your friendship 🌼
Die Zeitraffer-Aufnahmen sind, wie all seine anderen Werke, einfach großartig!
Diese Steemians sind einfach super ! Gell ? Was man da alles so findet
I think your friend has his own vision of art and I must say that in his works there is a certain share of talent. Thank you for sharing your impressions @mammasitta
He is a GENIUS!!!!
Wow... These images almost make you dizzy as you peer into them for definition...
Glad you made a memorable introduction at Steemfest. So many interesting people in this world, so little time...
I am still dizzy 😵
I must confess that I find Steemians most interesting these days
This is incredible art, man is a genius @mammasitta
He is beyond genius !!!
You are the master of the blog art.

You are an honest lady
