About this session
What does it mean to produce historical documents, synthetically generated by machine learning algorithms?
This session shares the story and processes behind Egor Kraft’s artwork Content Aware Studies (exhibited in the Arts & Culture Salon 801). It invites participants to speculate about a museological practice around generative sculptures synthesized from the algorithmic analysis of antiquity.
Content Aware Studies series initiate an inquiry into the possibilities of AI and particularly Machine Learning to reconstruct and generate lost antique greek and roman friezes and sculptures by the means of algorithmic analysis of 3D scans of antiquity. It concerns about the potentialities of methods involving data, ML, AI and other forms of automations turning into semi- and quasi–archeological knowledge production and interpretations of history and culture in the era of ubiquitous computation.
