People are made of stories

What remains of us when we leave this life are our stories that are passed on by those who remain here, in this act of retelling stories, facts are often lost and fiction mixes with reality, as in the game of the cordless telephone.

With various documents and photos from my own family members who lived in the early 20th century (whom I never met), I constructed a dataset as an input to a machine learning model, using a DiffAugment implementation with StyleGAN2, the in order to create 13 new characters and stories with distinct yet somehow familiar qualities.
