In a cascade of rapidly flickering images, a spiral pattern gradually discerns itself. Spanning from the microscopic to cosmic, these AI generated images depict scenes ranging from the prehistoric era to the beyond. In the realm of machine learning, an ‘epoch’ signifies a complete pass through the entire dataset during the training process of a model. Each epoch fosters incremental improvements in the model’s performance, ultimately yielding transformative outcomes. As the images unfold, they evoke the concept of an ‘epoch’ in its broader sense- passing through periods marked by signficant change, evolution and reflection, hallucinations of histories and futures.
