For these two videos Moullinex trained a StyleGAN2 network on 200 photographs of modernist concrete buildings, then moved through the space between the images it learned, so that one imagined building dissolves into the next.

The second video, Brutal Nature, draws on brutalist buildings that integrate plant life and is set to a remix of his single Ven. Both were made as prototypes, to test whether a full-length music video could be generated this way. Dezeen published the work with an interview.
