Wings And Lungs

This work explores synthetic visual morphologies using an early generative adversarial network trained to produce hybrid forms. The outputs resemble wings and lungs, two organs with shared structural and functional characteristics. Both exhibit branching architectures and surface-area optimization, supporting gas exchange or lift. These features are evolutionary examples of convergent adaptation to environmental pressures. The project parallels the evolution of biological organs with the iterative process of GAN training, where structures arise through feedback and competition rather than fixed templates.

The installation consists of videos, light boxes and digital prints, establishing the affinity of biological phenomena such as evolution, twinning and body symmetry with generative digital images. In the work, similar organs, bodies, animals, plants, websites, architectural images, pieces of clothing and undefined organic forms constantly transform into each other, producing hybrid shapes. Components such as parts of scaffolding, cables connecting the lightboxes’ electricity and infrastructure units that are overlapping, intertwining, enveloping and repeating themselves create an affiliation between physical and digital world in the space.
