Reimagining Medieval & Early Renaissance Masters

In the Altered Histories movement within ai art, creators engage in a form of temporal dislocation, borrowing from the well of historical art to reframe it in the context of modern sensibilities. Artists reimagine iconic works, art movements, and moments from history, blending them with contemporary culture and ideas. Using generative art tools, these artists recontextualize classical art, creating a meta new form of artistic expression. Gen art tools would not exist without being trained on vast datasets of the world’s art, much to the chagrin of many traditional artists. This new art becomes more than a dialogue between time and culture; it also reflects the very systems that enable its creation.

This week, we’ll focus on AI art and artists that explore altered histories from late medieval to early Renaissance art. The artists are listed on this page under the artists tab in the menu.
