Buckminster Fuller Within Neural Networks

Buckminster Fuller Within Neural Networks
The american architect Buckminster Fuller might be one of the most visionary personalities of the last century, he is well known by his ephemeralization concept, which consists of making more space with less energy and material.

Norman Foster in an interview with Surface Magazine on 2017 reported that in one of his conversations with Buckminster Fuller, he heard about the ability of doing more with less, Norman Foster claims that if Bucky were alive to see the digital revolution and the power of a small phone today, capable of doing so many things, more powerful than an old-fashioned computer with the size of a room, he would see his predictions coming true.

So as tribute to this amazing architect that oversaw huge problems we would face untill nowadays, we tried to revive his concepts through the lenses of neural networks based on VQGAN + CLIP (OpenAI)

It is interesting to see that even if the videos have similar input prompts, each one could be rendered in a different style. But all of them generated geometric patterns commonly seen in Fuller's geodesic domes!
