Digitalization isn’t all bad. It’s helping to preserve a variety of aging documents. And since the late 1970s, digitalization has created an almost entirely new form of art. Dutch photographer Bas Uterwijk certainly realized this when he used a generative adversarial network (GAN) to create realistic portraits of some of the world’s most renowned personalities. He’s taken some incredibly detailed portraits and transformed them into equally incredible images of what these people may have looked if photographed. The results are stunning.
