Happy release day to High Hi,

High Hi's "Borders" video is the outcome of a series of AI-generated transitions between over 150 faces that were produced by the same tool. Not only do these faces look as if they were drawn by a skilled illustrator, but the in-between frames also blend naturally. How is this achieved? Antwerp-based visual arts studio Lion Beach used Joel Simon's clever Artbreeder (formerly known as GANbreeder) engine to produce over 5000 frames to use in their Octane 3D render setup.

A futuristic albeit retro context with an early 00's Compaq displaying these faces conveys an uncanny vibe that progresses along with the climactic post-pop track into a slush of different faces. This is the second track from High His upcoming sophomore record "Firepool", scheduled to release March 13th 2020, produced by Daan Schepers (Eefje de Visser, Bazart, Warhola).
