A digital art project that bridges the ancient past and the present through the power of artificial intelligence. The gallery showcases non-existing cave paintings, each one a unique creation of StyleGAN, a generative adversarial network trained on a dataset of 2,000 real images from the renowned Chauvet and Altamira caves.
These digital paintings are more than just images; they are a testament to the enduring human spirit of creativity. They serve as a reminder that the people who painted the original cave walls, biologically identical to us, used art as a medium to communicate, express, and understand their world.
This project highlights the continuity of human creativity, emphasizing that the act of creation is not just a part of our past, but an essential part of our present and future. It is an ancestral part of humanity that continues to thrive in this digital age.
Dreams of forgotten caves connects with the timeless human desire to create and communicate, and see how the act of creation is a fundamental part of our shared human heritage.
