A Convincing Rembrandt Painting Crafted With 3-D Printing : All Tech Considered : NPR

Quote:
"A computer learned, with artificial intelligence, how to re-create a new Rembrandt right eye," Korsten explains. "And we did that for all facial features, and after that, we assembled those facial features using the geometrical dimensions that Rembrandt used to use in his own work."

The statistical data even determined the type of painting — a portrait, which was the most significant portion of the artist's work, and were most common between 1632 and 1642.
This sort of reminds me of synthetic marijuana. Fake weed scared the hell out of me but it was weedlike, just nuttier and way more paranoidier. Synthetic drugs are scary but synthetic art isn't. I would like to see what this kind of algorithm could do to create synthetic Coltrane.
