The Next Rembrandt
Can technology and data bring back to life one of the greatest painters of all time? Discover the story behind The Next Rembrandt, a new painting created from historical Rembrandt data. The painting was created using data from Rembrandt’s total body of work using deep learning algorithms and facial recognition techniques. The portrait consists of over 148 million pixels, based on 168,263 painting fragments from Rembrandt’s oeuvre. Blurring the boundaries between art and technology, this artwork is intended to fuel the conversation about the relationship between art and algorithms, between data and human design and between technology and emotion. The story behind this unique painting is explained in full detail on the website. After the launch, The Next Rembrandt will be on public display in a location that will be disclosed in a later phase.
