This is Not a Portrait

This is Not a Portrait

Edmond De Belamy  / エドモンド・デ・ベラミー  /  is not a person. 

But his portrait was made by an algorithm, and it sold for $432,000 at Christies making it the first piece of art made by artificial intelligence auctioned by a major house. 

To make the painting, artist Pierre Fautrel ran 15,000 classic portraits through a learning algorithm developed by Google researcher Ian Goodfellow. 

Once the software “understood the rules of portraiture” it generated a series of portraits by itself. 

Edmond’s is one of a series of AI-envisioned portraits of the De Belamy family. 

The gavel-price far exceeded pre-sale estimates of ~$10,000. 

Snarksters will ask "Yes, but is it art?"

To which I answer "Art is that which surrounds us."

Vita brevis.
