How Whispart makes GAN art
Follow our process from training Mnemosyne and selecting images to proofing, framing and recording one authorised physical work.
Art from imagined worlds.
GAN-generated images, selected by our team and made into framed canvas works. One authorised physical edition of each final image.

A model opens possibilities.
People choose the work.
Our current collection comes from Mnemosyne, a GAN model we trained. Each image begins with sampled values rather than a scene written as a text prompt.
Human choices shape the process throughout: we select and prepare the source material, compare training results, and decide which images to produce.
From an image to a physical work

Selected image
We choose individual outputs for their forms, colours and the relationships within them.
Tested in our studio
Studio test prints help us check and refine colours. Only images we are happy with go to our production partner for the finished work.
Printed and framed
The surface, print and frame become part of how you see the work in a room.
The human story
behind an AI image.
Make
Our partner in Zhejiang prints and frames the work; our team member checks and packs it in Guangzhou.

Blue Hour Tribunal
“She has been called to answer for a secret she never meant to possess. The gesture near her heart feels like an old rite of witness, performed before a deity who values honesty more than innocence. There is fear in this moment, but also dignity—the first dignity of someone choosing to remain visible rather than be forgiven too easily.”

About Whispart
A small studio.
A life beyond the screen.
Whispart began in Kunming with a question: could an image made with a machine become something you would want to live with?
Today, our three-person team explores that question through training, selection and the making of physical works. One of our early framed pieces found a place in the founder’s mother’s study.
