1Clement Valla is an explorer of how humans and computers are increasingly entangled in making, seeing, and reading pictures. His extraordinary work has been exhibited internationally, challenging his viewers to rethink what they see.
This work, Iconoclash 18, is a proto AI trained on the Metropolitan Musuem's sculpture collection.
"Iconoclashes" are a clashing of objects in various time periods, in an assortment of cultures, representing a multiplicity of religions. Using the Met's public web archive and sourcing imagery from objects tagged with the keywords "God" or "Religion," the photomerge script blends these images together, creating chimeric deities, hybrid talismans, and surreal stellae, gods, and statues, as produced here.
