The video was created by Youtuber ontyj utilizing Wav2Lip, a neural network that uses existing video of human faces speaking to match a different audio source. The result
This is a video of Brazilian artist Luis Henrique producing very impressive string art portraits of Michael Jackson and Elvis by looping a single length of string around the nails surrounding a bicycle rim. He estimates each portrait took about 2,300 lines. How about that! It’s just a bunch of
