“…Technologists started performing the first pioneering experiments with automated generation of image and music in the 1950s and 60s [21,31], which evolved into an assistance to human artists Berg [4], Daudrich [12], Taylor [42], Xenakis [46]. Recent advances in hardware and algorithms made neural-networks-based generation widely accessible for both research and art Alvarez-Melis and Amores [2], Briot et al [5], Broad and Grierson [6], Carnovalini and Rodá [7], Diaz-Jerez [13], Fernandez and Vico [16], Goodfellow et al [17], Larsen et al [26], Roberts et al [37], Roche et al [39]. Scientific and artistic interests also meet in bridging between the expressions: music visualization-an idea rooted in early 20th century art Corra [10], Kandinsky [23], Moritz [29]-is mostly the purview of artists Ox and Keefer [32], while much of the image-to-music transformation is based on sonification, often with a scientific-technological focus Barrass and Kramer [3], Dubus and Bresin [14], Kramer et al [25], Walker and Nees [43].…”
