The work is a homage to Picasso’s „Blue Period“ and is based on a monochrome glitch, which has been run through an Adaptive-Style-Transfer Picasso-model implemented at Runwayml.com - After that, it has been manually outlined using a graphics tablet. These steps were repeated serveral times. Finally the source image has been embedded using steganographic techniques.
