Atlas of Places is a public educational collection of Academia, Architecture, Cartography, Cinema, Essays, Painting, Photography and Research. Its objective is to question the meaning of places. It is curated according to continuously evolving philosophical, social and cultural beliefs. This is merely an occasional collection. Some works date from 1230, some from the recent past, some from the present. They have this characteristic in common that they are outlooks, in the truest sense of the word. In them will be found little more than the intention of clarifying a few ideas that might really be called political if that fine word, so attractive and exciting to the mind, did not arouse today so many great scruples and great repugnance.
Atlas of Places simply wishes to make a little clearer to itself the notions that it has received from others or that, like others, it has formed for itself — notions that everyone uses for thinking about human groups, their relations and difficulties with one another. The effort to clarify such matters is assuredly not the business of those men who practice or mix in them. This collection is the work of an amateur.
Atlas of Places is dedicated to those persons who have no system and belong to no party and are therefore still free to doubt whatever is doubtful and to maintain what is not.
Atlas of Places is curated day by day, the works shared do not pretend to show any organic development: the link between them is rather one of insistence and repetition. For while one doesn’t know whether things which are repeated are pleasing, one’s belief is that they are significant. And what is sought throughout this collection are significant features.
Atlas of Places produces cartography, satellite imagery and orthoimagery for exhibitions, editorial projects and various other mediums. This continuous production appears in the Research collection. If you wish to collaborate, please scroll down to the “Collaboration” section below.
Atlas of Places originated in the Pyrénées-Orientales during the summer of 2015 and is edited by Thomas Paturet.
ComboGAN: Unrestrained Scalability for Image Domain Translation Asha Anoosheh, Eirikur Augustsson, Radu Timofte, Luc van Gool In Arxiv, 2017.

This year alone has seen unprecedented leaps in the area of learning-based image translation, namely CycleGAN, by Zhuet al. But experiments so far have been tailored to merely two domains at a time, and scaling them to more would re-quire an quadratic number of models to be trained. And with two-domain models taking days to train on current hardware,the number of domains quickly becomes limited by the time and resources required to process them. In this paper, we pro-pose a multi-component image translation model and training scheme which scales linearly - both in resource consumption and time required - with the number of domains. We demonstrate its capabilities on a dataset of paintings by 14different artists and on images of the four different seasons in the Alps. Note that 14 data groups would need(14choose2) =91 different CycleGAN models: a total of 182 genera-tor/discriminator pairs; whereas our model requires only 14generator/discriminator pairs
