Presented at the McCord Stewart Museum as part of the Becoming Montreal: The 1800s Painted by Duncan.
James Duncan’s urban landscapes shaped the vision that people had of Montreal in the 19th century. What would the world look like in the eyes of someone whose reality was based on an artist’s illustrations? To answer this question, digital art studio Iregular fed the works of James Duncan from the McCord Stewart Museum’s collection to artificial intelligence.
Using this data and a generative program, the studio designed a three-dimensional virtual world of computer-generated images made of layers of superimposed topographies. The result is a unique, constantly changing experience that creates shifting dreamscapes derived from Duncan’s work.
