Artist Uses AI To Portray People Exiled During The Military Regime (10 Pics)

In “Marginados”, visual artist Mateus Morbeck uses artificial intelligence to produce digital images that portray people who were exiled during the period of military dictatorship in Brazil, between 1966 and 1985.

The physical descriptions of banished and exiled people, contained in documents produced by the Foreign Information Center – CIEX, an ultra-secret spy agency formed by diplomats and infiltrated agents, served as prompts to create images of those whose lives were fragmented and their destinies were interrupted in the search for freedom amidst the horizon of uncertainty.

Artificial intelligence is responsible for bringing to life portraits that transcend objective reality and expand understanding by intertwining memory and fiction, the human and the technological. On a journey of rescue and confrontation, the imagined faces defy oblivion so that the silenced voices are never forgotten amid the shadows of the past.

Mateus Morbeck is a Brazilian visual artist and architect. His production ranges from photography to generative art using computational algorithms. Its procedural and methodological search is structured based on image perception relationships, through the use of technologies, old and current, in a continuous process of tensioning the complexity of layers and meanings.

Hello Pandas! My name is Ieva, though it’s often mistaken for the word ‘Leva,’ and in Lithuanian, it means ‘loser’ (insert the pain emoji). While I don’t take offense if you accidentally call me a loser, I thought I’d share something interesting with you, which I also do professionally at work.

Anywayyy, my favorite part here is introducing you to creative people who deserve just as much recognition as famous celebrities. Besides that, I also enjoy memes and funny, lighthearted posts, and occasionally, I find myself drawn to a bit of internet drama.
