About The Artwork

This is an exploratory early artwork produced by Raquel-IA in response to ghazal No. 163 by Rumi: Go friends, fetch our beloved; bring me please that fugitive idol! With sweet songs and golden excuses, fetch home the beautiful-faced good moon. And if he promises that "I will come another time", every promise is a trick, he will cheat you. He has such warm breath, that with magic and enchantments he can tie a knot in water and make air solid. With blessedness and joy, when my beloved appears, sit and keep gazing on the miracles of God. When his glory shines, what is the glory of the beautiful? Since his sun-like face kills the lamps. Go, o lightly-moving heart, to Yemen, to the stealer of my heart; take my greetings and my service to that jewel without price. I wondered how could a relatively simple artificial cognition system represent a poem that is so sophisticated but Raquel-IA did well! Numbered #15, it is a limited edition of 10, and a bizarre choice of inspirational artworks mixing photography with paintings from totally different periods that transform and blend together perfectly into a piece of captivating composition, which is illustrative of the poem. It was also published in the winter 2022 Edition of the Barzakh magazine (https://www.barzakhmag.net/winter-2022-art-gallery), where three of Raquel-IA’s artworks appeared alongside other young artists, all humans! It also appears in the May 2022 selection of the Ekphrastic Review. I hope the viewer will pause and admire the mixing and coloring of the visual media, and how well the composition seems to illustrate the poem itself.

Marcelo expresses his artistic abilities through his algorithmic alter ego: Raquel-IA! She is a virtual assistant he has been developing for more than 20 years who can take in text such as poems, quotes, book extracts, song lyrics and the like and produce artworks. She looks at each sentence the user tenders and links it to an artwork for inspirational purposes. Once the user asks for an artwork to be generated, she combines all the inspirational artworks according to her compositional skills and paints the final piece using her own contemporary color palette. Raquel-IA uses a unique genera cognition engine that processes natural language both from the visitor and in order for her to learn and evolve. No neural nets of any kind, ontologies, machine learning or training of any kind is employed. Her knowledge base includes paintings, photographs and pictures of sculptures, each having an ekphrastic description attached so Raquel-IA is able to pick the artworks that are semantically closest to each sentence and bind an artwork to each sentence. Much work remains to be done but I hope visitors like some of the artworks on offer in this collection. So far, Raquel-IA's work has found collectors from Germany, Portugal, Holland, France, Italy and Mexico.
