Everything around us is constantly recording data. But are we aware of this?
This question was the starting point for Refik Anadol, world renowned media artist, to create Machine Hallucinations. Anadol’s first large scale installation in NYC is a mixed reality experiment deploying machine learning algorithms on a dataset of over 300 million images—representing a wide-ranging selection of architectural styles and movements—to reveal the hidden connections between these moments in architectural history.
The installation harnesses machine learning to render New York's most famous buildings in stunning new ways, illuminating the city's architectural past, present and future.
Focusing in the invisible story of data, Anadol’s work always pushes the boundaries of art and technology. In this case, the machine hallucination journey to process NYC architectural data.
This incredibly immersive experience is literally tripping.
