What if we didn’t need a painter to create art — just data, code, and curiosity?

The Next Rembrandt brings together a team of data scientists, engineers, and art historians to create a new “Rembrandt” using algorithms and 3D printing technology. Blurring the lines between art and artificial intelligence, the film explores what happens when creativity meets code — and whether something made by a machine can still move us.

The case film of this project won 16 awards at Cannes Lions, including two Grand Prix, and the 25-minute documentary premiered as the opening film at the InScience Film Festival in the Netherlands and screen at festivals worldwide. It won the “best medium length film” award during the Arte Non Stop Festival in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
