Artist Mario Klingemann’s groundbreaking piece of Artificial Intelligence (AI) generates a never-ending real-time stream of original art. The recent winner of The Lumen Prize for Art and Technology, Klingemann’s pioneering work features an AI ‘brain’ that creates new images based on photographs of portraits from the 17th to 19th centuries. ‘Memories of Passersby I’ is a highlight of our upcoming Contemporary Art Day Auction (6 March | London) and will be the first self-contained, generative work of AI ever to appear on the market.

Bullshit….
Fascinating
I love that! I’m hopeful for the future of A.I. 🖤✨
I'll wait for the screensaver app.
Now this looks like a very happy man, I love HIS face full of excitement and interest!
Whoever bought the first one, will now wish that he would've saved himself the money and spend it rather on an original!
Great work by Mario! Big fan of his process!! It's great to see that coding gets the (mainstream) attention that it actually deserves.
So, this just takes the pics of the master painter & keeps remixing them, then records what it's done & remixes them again. It's not painting anything in the slightest. Biggest emperors new clothes since Emin's bed went for sale.
WOW!!!
If you hear somebody playing a piano would you ever ask if the piano is the artist? no. so same thing here
If you see someone having a baby who is creating an art would you ever ask if the kid is the artist?
I guess no from your point of view…
It's more an analogue to a player piano than a human playing a piano. Look at a roll of piano player 'music' and it's very reminiscent of punch-card patterns, i.e., code. A machine cannot lose its temper, drink too much, get depressed, fall in love, or any of the other human experiences that inform and affect what a human artist does.
This is a great example of how the machine is not agnostic but imbued with bias of the maker. Feed it European portraits and it echoes them back – look at the examples used in the film. White face hi-lighted and selected even with dark skinned subjects present in the work. Perhaps I missed a moment (went through the video twice), and I'm sure that this could be amended with training, not wanting to indite the artist but another example of implicit bias multiplied and re-represented… the echo chamber… a monster.
You give the baby brain, baby created the art
Is there another choice about having the binary male and female portraits other than depending on neural networks and dataset used?
Just wow. How many GPUs in that…
damn, this is something i definately would like to have in my room
Do you work for Starnet my good man? 🤔
The art looks demonic
