AI gets to work on a lifelike new Bach portrait

AI gets to work on a lifelike new Bach portrait

Using the famous oil painting by E. G. Haussmann from 1748 as starting point, Iranian artist Hadi Karimi has created a high-resolution, photorealistic, 3D model of Bach’s face. During the post-production phase of the film, artificial intelligence was used to replace the actor’s face with this digital reconstruction of Bach’s own. This so-called “deepfake” now reveals Johann Sebastian Bach as a living, breathing human being.

Idea, concept and script: Vital Julian Frey, Bachwochen Thun.
