Fine-tuning SDXL with childhood pictures → audio-reactive geometries – [Experiment]

After a deeply introspective and emotional journey, I fine-tuned SDXL using old family album pictures of my childhood [60], a delicate process that brought my younger self into dialogue with the present, an experience that turned out to be far more impactful than I had anticipated.

What’s particularly interesting about the resulting visuals, is that they seem to be imbued with intricate emotions, and not-so-well-recalled distant memories. Intuition tells me there’s something of value in these kinds of experiments.

On the first clip I’m using Archaia’ [audio-reactive geometries] system intervened with the resulting LORA. And second one is a real-time test (StreamDiffusion) of said LORA + an updated version of Auratura working in parallel.

Hope you enjoy it ♥
