Donald Trump In Words
One of the teams combined text analytics and generative deep learning to great effect.
They developed a word cloud of Donald Trump's utterances, and then fed that to Google's deep dream system to combine the word cloud with a portrait of Trump.
The result is very effective. A powerful element of the design is that the coloured shapes on the image are recognisable as words, but they are so distorted that they are hard to make sense of. This resonates with many people's view that Trump's speeches and tweets are difficult to understand, and that they bend and twist reality. As a portrait, his form is made up of these ambiguous words - a powerful statement on who his is.
