OverviewJoan Fontcuberta and Pilar Rosado transform historic photographs into new portraits through digital algorithm software Here, Catalan conceptual artists Joan Fontcuberta (born 1955) and Pilar Rosado create photorealistic portraits of nonexistent people. Using a digital algorithm to generate new faces from real photographs from the 1930s, Fontcuberta and Rosado develop a contemporary version of cubist and surrealist portraiture. SELLING POINTS: . Prosopagnosia (memory pathology to remember faces) is a project departing from a historial photo archive from a Spanish local newspaper active in the 30's, devoted to public personalities of the time. . This collection of faces is the input for a G.A.N. (Generative Adversatorial Network) algorithm which develops a machine learning process to generate new faces out of the archive portraits (although it could apply it to any kind of archive). . The result is a new collection of photorealistic images of non-existing persons. The final pictures are convincingly photographic but the focus is mainly set on the wonderful sequence of failed attempts that review important steps in art history: Expressionism, Cubism, Surrealism, Picasso, Bacon, Abstraction and so on.. 2850 images Full Product DetailsAuthor: Joan Fontcuberta , Pilar Rosado , Jordi Ortiz-Patxi SolàPublisher: RM Verlag SL Imprint: RM Verlag SL ISBN: 9788417975210ISBN 10: 8417975217 Pages: 94 Publication Date: 30 January 2020 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Temporarily unavailable The supplier advises that this item is temporarily unavailable.
