The Future Van Gogh

The Future Van Gogh is a data based prediction of Van Gogh's next painting. In the form of a real artwork. The painting was created using machine learning / Artificial Intelligence techniques in 2014 and covered by international art media like The Art Newspaper and artnet.com. A series of AI based Van Gogh paintings by Van der Most were exhibited at the Affordable Art Fair Hong Kong.

Based on his experience with The Future Van Gogh, Van der Most had a special advisor role in the Next Rembrandt project in 2016. In the project a data based Rembrandt was created for an ad campaign for ING and Microsoft. The Next Rembrandt project was covered by international media like The Guardian and Dutch media like Parool and NOS journaal. The campaign received the world's biggest advertising prizes for it's innovative aspect.

To Van der Most these 'future' paintings show the capability of data and technology to break the boundaries of time. To look beyond the present and in some way work together with artists from a long-gone past.
