Bas Uterwijk, a specialist in algorithmic picture synthesis, produced a magnificent image of Jesus using Artbreeder’s machine-learning features.
His “historically accurate” portrayal of the Messiah contrasts sharply with images of the Messiah found in Western art and religious texts.
Mr. Uterwijk stated, “I have a background in Computer Generated Images and Special Effects.
“The artificial intelligence software utilizes a neural network trained on photographs and paintings of thousands of human faces.
“This application makes it possible to combine multiple sources of faces and merge them in a synthesized version, guided by the artistic decisions of the user. I use it to create historical and fictional characters.
“I used several cultural depictions of Jesus of Nazareth of Byzantine and Renaissance origin including Leonardo da Vinci’s “Salvator Mundi”, and the Turin Shroud, tweaking the ethnicity to a more convincing Middle-Eastern face.”
