When technology is Girlfriend Who is Crazy About Big Things (2025)used to make art, sometimes it produces beautiful results. And other times things get a little ... strange.
A new video going around Twitter shows an eerie girl moving her eyes as a cursor moves around on the screen. The thing is ... it's not a real person in the video.
SEE ALSO: The creepiest videos from the robotics company Google just soldThese beautiful and unsettling videos (okay, they're more than a little creepy) were made by artist and researcher Branislav Ulicny, who created this AI-generated art by using neural networks combined with two other existing existing technology-based art projects.

"Virtual humans are kinda my obsession, so whenever I stumble upon some interesting data, I try to see what I can make out of it," Ulicny said in an email. He was inspired by projects like Pickle Cat to work on a similar interactive experience.

"It uses a technique called "generative adversarial networks" ("GAN") where two artificial neural networks are playing an adversarial game: one (the "Generator") tries to generate increasingly convincing output, while a the second (the "Critic") tries to learn to distinguish real photos from generated ones. With time, the generated output becomes increasingly realistic, as both adversaries try to outwit each other," Tyka explained via email.
In other words: two algorithms work together to improve each other and create the most realistic images possible.
"Using machine learning as an artistic tool is a fascinating and nascent field with many opportunities for experimentation," says Tyka.
Ulicny then combined the portraits with Yaroslav Ganin's DeepWarp, a project that uses images and produces "gaze manipulation" or eye movement. Here is an example of DeepWarp in action on a photo of Chris Pine:
