CAS_15.1 Deep Frieze. 2021 Breccia marble, concrete, machine learning algorithms, unique synthetic dataset; dimensions: ~108x90cm. Produced with support from: Onassis Foundation & Garage Museum. The Content Aware Studies (started in 2017) is a series of artistic investigations that spans computational, sculptural, screen-based and textual works that together critically examine what artistic, technical and philosophical capacities Ai technologies hold, both as means for automatic historical investigation & synthetic knowledge production. Artificial neural network is directed to replenish lost fragments of classical sculptures. Analysing thousands of 3d scans, it generates models, which are then 3D printed, marble fabricated and used to fill the voids of the original sculptures.
