Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This image appears to depict an unusual public art installation situated in front of a grand, classical-style building.

The overall composition combines the historic architecture with this contemporary, surreal sculptural element, creating a thought-provoking contrast.

Jef Cornelis

B.1941, Belgian

Experimental Belgian film director Jef Cornelis is a pioneer in investigating the relationship between art, television, documentary and artist films.

Showcasing mechanisms of cultural production usually hidden from the public eye, Cornelis’ films reveal conflict, anxiety and rivalry within the art world. During his work at BLT (the Belgian Radio and Television company) between 1964 and 1998, the filmmaker produced over two hundred live broadcasts, essays and documentaries, thereby bringing exquisite, avant-garde work to the mass audiences and turning television into art. ...
