Activations

Activations is a series of prints mapping the activation of layers in a neural network designed for driving an autonomous vehicle. Starting from the view of the road ahead captured by the car's camera, the images in the series slowly break down into significant and latterly illegible data, as the operation of the machine's intelligence becomes less and less correspondent to human understanding.

The Activations series is one output from a body of work researching the design and development of a self-driving car. Also included is an activation of the network based not on the road ahead, but on the clouds over Mount Parnassus, where the vehicle was developed and tested.
