ArtiVisual: A Platform to Generate and Compare Art

ArtiVisual is a platform for generating new art-pieces based on an existing art style and comparing commonalities between paintings from different era. We combine an image generative network with established state-of-the-art visualisation techniques to deepen the users' understanding of art in general. With ArtiVisual we can generate images based on art- styles via an interactive timeline. Common features between art-styles are reflected on the generated art piece produced by the network after learning the subspace of each artist's specific features. Visualisations are presented to provide insight into commonalities between existing and generated images. The combination of a trained network and our visualisation techniques provides a rigid framework for thorough exploration and understanding of art datasets.
