GROW YOUR OWN CLOUD (GYOC) reimagines the cloud by storing data nature's way - in the DNA of plants. The initiative seeks to create a new type of cloud, one that is organic, rather than silicon, and which emits oxygen rather than CO2.

The installation at SXSW 2020 is a contemporary Data Garden, featuring plants encoded with data and tools for the audience to experiment with decoding, to reveal hidden messages. This involves state of the art DNA data science, a technology which has the potential to store all of the world's data in just 1 kg of DNA.

​The installation is a collaboration between the artists Cyrus Clarke (UK) and Monika Seyfried (PL) and scientist Jeff Nivala (US), supported by Unlisted Projects (US), The Museum of Human Achievement (US), Danish Arts in Austin, Roskilde Festival (DK) and Catch (DK).

This track was created by a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) during training on 1 second clips of a single song ('Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt' by The Mars Volta). Every 1 second of the track is the GAN output after 10 training epochs. It starts to get interesting around the 3 min mark..

Code for this project can be found here: ​https://github.com/jmdn/GAN_music_generator
