This piece has the particularity of bringing together the most innovative technologies, with the reinterpretation of thousands of Japanese artworks using Generative Adversarial Networks, and the most traditional techniques, with the participation of a moku-hanga artist to reproduce the artwork using woodblock printing.
The artwork was exhibited with the different woodblocks used for its creation.
