Directed by Josh Usheroff in collaboration with neural network pioneer Alex Mordvintsev and Google\u2019s DeepDream software, the clip shows the band performing in an endless vortex of oscillating textures and color.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am fascinated by the changes that AI and machine learning are bringing to all aspects of our culture,\u201d Usheroff says in a release. \u201cI wanted to see how this technology was being used in more creative disciplines. I started researching generative art and came across a video by Alex Mordvintsev. The video featured a series of still images zooming and transforming into one another. The results were mesmerizing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He goes on to explain, \u201cWe captured the performance visuals in Montreal just a few hours before the band\u2019s concert. My creative partner, Ben Goloff, sequenced the performances and applied style transfers to give the images a surreal and almost painterly aesthetic. We then sent the files to Alex to work his DeepDream magic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mordvintsev describes the video effect as \u201ccombining neural artistic style transfer with a zooming feedback loop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI gradually inject each new video clip into the mix, while simultaneously steering the global image style,\u201d he says. \u201cEach video segment is a continuation of the previous, so I couldn\u2019t generate them all in parallel. Thus, I decided to use \u2018fast\u2019 feed-forward version of style transfer to be able to iterate quickly on the sequence, incorporating the feedback I was provided from Josh and Ben.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Broken Social Scene\u2019s most recent LP was 2017\u2019s <em>Hug of Thunder<\/em>. They\u2019ll be performing at the Trans-Pecos Festival of Love and Music in Marfa, Texas, on September 28th.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/broken-social-scene-cant-find-my-heart-video-889568\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broken Social Scene have a new video for their song \u201cCan\u2019t Find My Heart,\u201d from their April EP Let\u2019s Try the After (Vol. 2) \u2014 it looks like a cross between the White Stripes\u2019 classic \u201cSeven Nation Army\u201d visual and an acid trip.
