These "data paintings," including the pieces he is showing at the art fair, are focused on how data and technology have redefined the natural landscape.
Titled Wind of Boston: Data Paintings, the Walt Disney Concert Hall projection-mapping artist has collated data from winds in and around Boston Logan Airport and turned this information, using custom software, into abstract data paintings and displayed them on digital canvases.
Mixtures decomposition algorithms have been used in the past to examine multispectral data of paintings and help characterize the chemical composition of the paints in a spatially resolved manner.
Interesting data about the paintings.
Both mapping techniques captured data from both paintings simultaneously, with differing transparencies and signal for each pigment in each technique.
Information provided by chemical examination of colors from historical handbooks can be of utmost importance for interpreting analytical data from actual paintings in technical studies or authentication efforts.
Finally, the study demonstrates that while there are clear limitations in using in situ, non-destructive analytical techniques to characterise the materials and techniques of an artists' oeuvre, portable Raman spectroscopy, FORS, portable XRF and hyperspectral imaging are valuable and complimentary techniques that can provide important data from watercolour paintings.
Dean Snow, an emeritus professor of anthropology at Penn State University, has spent a decade gathering data on cave paintings ranging from 20,000 to 40,000 years old, reports National Geographic.
Riffing on multiple visualizations of the same scene, Quayola extracted data from the paintings using algorithms, then tweaked them in order to generate what he calls an "abstract entity".
The GAN, uses a system of two neural networks called a "generator" and a "discriminator," to create convincing versions of the works using data from the paintings and machine learning.
When the art critic Robert Hughes was asked why it was necessary to look at art in person when one can retrieve images from a data bank, he replied, "Paintings are things in the physical world, made out of colored mud smeared on a piece of cloth or a piece of board, with a stick with hairs on the end".
