Margiela x Met LoRA

Could we use data to facilitate a virtual collaboration?

This mock campaign explores that, by mixing LoRAs of an open weights model - ideogram. I trained two LoRAs from a hand picked collection of open access imagery.

LoRAs were mixed together to create a series of editorial images - a collaboration between Margiela's art direction and the Met's art collection.

Could we subvert an AI model?

Following Margiela's ethos of deconstruction and subversion, I pushed the boundaries of data by circuit bending a LoRA - boosting its weight delta on the layer responsible for Margiela's fabric texture.
