## About

Artificial Images is the post-AI art practice of Derrick Schultz. Utilizing machine learning and other computational techniques, his work explores generative abstraction and computational filmmaking.

In addition to creating his own work, Derrick also teaches machine learning to artists, designers, and image makers. Artificial Images courses combine small group personal instruction with a digital community from across the world.

## Classes

### Training Image & Video LoRAs

Train models on your own work. Over five live sessions we'll build and caption datasets, train image LoRAs and image edit models, then move to motion with video LoRAs, with an AI agent running the training on rented GPUs. No coding required. GPU rental is paid separately, roughly $100 for the course.
