Ha.i.kus, Vol. 1: Cycles of Water
Written by a human, illustrated by a machine
Nature is an outward, evolving spiral.
Cycles of Water tells the story of nature’s journey across a collective of haiku poems and A.I.-generated imagery.
The A.I. model used, known as a GAN (generative adversarial network), was tasked with creating its own visual, artistic interpretation of each poem through deep learning.
The result is a sprawling, beautiful conversation between man and machine on nature, evolution and the invisible, yet powerful forces that guide us all.

Musical storm
A mellow blue sky
Brain clouds and lightning strikes
Notes on a lost key
Good boy
You’re such a good pup
Follow around for the treat
A small, happy world
North End, Boston
This brick apartment
Broken steps lead to the street
Sturdy charisma
A beautiful death
The portrait of death
Its eyes watch with a smile
A comforting warmth
Symmetree
Roots stretch through the dirt
Branches reach, limbs surf the air
A still, wet mirror
Side sleeper
Dreaming in color
A reel imagination
Pictures of pictures
Angkor Wat
Once a great city
Swallowed whole by the forest,
And clashing ideals
Universal
We experience
The falling rain of bright stars
Drops on held-out hands
Fading dream
A stitched fantasy
Unraveling skeletons
More dreams become lost
Stand out
Bold, patches for holes
Standing out like a thumbs up
Hitchhiking around
Moonset, AZ
Half moon in daylight
Glowing above a mountain
Arizona sand
Disconnect
In conversations
Between humans and machines,
Machines learn faster
