Memories of Passerby I by Mario Klingemann (Laatzen, Germany, 1970) is a work that uses artificial intelligence to create portraits of non-existent people in real time and without interruption. Using portraits painted by great European masters as a starting point, the piece generates new faces that change and fade. The code is Klingemann’s brush, creating works that feed back and are in continuous transformation. The German artist uses algorithms and artificial intelligence to explore visual imagination, language, and our increasingly complex relationship with technology.

Artist Biography

The Digital Alchemist of Laatzen

In the profound intersection where computer science meets the emotive depths of visual expression, Mario Klingemann emerges as a visionary architect of the unseen. Born in 1970 in Germany, his journey began not with the traditional weight of oil or clay, but with the logic of algorithms and the infinite possibilities of code. By grounding himself in both the technical rigor of computer science and the aesthetic nuances of the visual arts, Klingemann developed a unique vocabulary—one where the brushstroke is replaced by mathematical relationships and the canvas becomes an ever-evolving stream of data.

The Ghost in the Machine

Klingemann’s practice represents a radical departure from manual artistic traditions. He does not merely use computers as tools; he treats neural networks as collaborators, training them on vast datasets to explore the very essence of perception and beauty. His work often presents an unsettlingly beautiful aesthetic, where faces emerge from a digital fog, only to dissolve back into the void. Through his sophisticated use of machine learning, he creates a dialogue between human history and computational logic, utilizing code as his primary brush.

  • Memories of Passerby I: A haunting, real-time generation of non-existent portraits that draws inspiration from European masters to create faces that change and fade.
  • The Butcher's Son: An exploration of figurative visual input that earned him the prestigious Lumen Prize Gold Award in 2018.


A New Frontier for Contemporary Art

The significance of Klingemann’s contribution to the art world lies in his ability to challenge the very definition of authorship and creativity. As a Google Arts and Culture resident, he has pushed the boundaries of what is considered "artistic," prompting global institutions to reconsider the role of artificial intelligence in culture. His works have been exhibited at some of the most esteemed venues in the world, including:

  • The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York
  • The Centre Pompidou, Paris
  • The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York


By navigating the complex relationship between technology and imagination, Klingemann ensures that his legacy is not just written in pixels, but etched into the very evolution of human creativity.
