bitGAN Collabs

by Van Arman x Ricky

bitGAN Collabs are a series of collaborations between Van Arman and bitGAN collectors. Find out more about the bitGANs in the journal documenting their appearance at bitgans.com. 

Role: This project started with Van Arman providing a peek behind the curtain, giving his fans and collectors  a look into his entire end-to-end process for creating the bitGANs and podGANs. Originally, we were to create our own art using his techniques, but something else was brewing. Stable Diffusion started to gain popularity and we pivoted. The new plan was to use bitGANs as init images to the diffusion model and prompt over them with our own ideas and styles. This concept was a hit. In the end, I created 15 of the 144 pieces in the collection, some using Van Arman's bitGANs as init and some entirely of my own creation. More importantly, I knew I needed to make more art.
