Transcultural language, native Chilean peoples and a new AI-based artistic-cultural expression

Abstract

This work aims to rescue, transcribe and create new artistic and cultural expressions through the use of native peoples’ historical visual recordings, integrating intelligent technologies. For this purpose, a Chilean native peoples’ digital repository is collected, in order to apply a Digital Humanities-based methodology. From the chosen material, portraits are selected, recoloured through a AI-based model; the facial mesh is constructed using a facial landmark detector; the points of the mesh are reconstructed by a Delaunay triangulation; to finally apply an additive manufacturing process. Thus, these physical pieces allow to compare the native people’s own physiognomies, creating new cultural expressions.

Bibliometric Study on the Influence of Digital Technology in the Field of Arts and Culture

“…The fusion of digital technology with the arts and culture has fundamentally altered the creation, distribution, and consumption of cultural artifacts [9], [10]. From the advent of digital art forms to the proliferation of online platforms for cultural exchange, the landscape of artistic expression has undergone a profound transformation [11]- [13]. Digital tools have not only democratized access to the arts but have also facilitated new modes of collaboration, experimentation, and audience participation [14], [15].…”
