Video "with" Johann Sebastian Bach
In a three-minute video clip, the Bachwochen Thun presents Johann Sebastian Bach as a living person. The Haussmann painting from 1748 served as the basis for this deepfake.
According to the Bach Festival, the video was filmed in the tower hall of Holligen Castle. The scene imagines the completion of the Bach portrait by Elias Gottlob Haussman (1695-1774).
Iranian 3D artist Hadi Karimi "created a high-resolution, photorealistic 3D model of Bach's face based on this image from 1748." In post-production, the face of the Leipzig actor in the role of Bach was "replaced by Bach's digitally reconstructed face with the help of artificial intelligence."
