Description

La Nave is a former factory of the lift company Böetticher in the district of Villaverde in Madrid. Built in the 1940s, it was a factory for the manufacture of lifts. Workers and residents in the area nicknamed the main building "La Catedral" (The Cathedral) because of its large size and the characteristic shape of its vault. That is why we have combined it with a landscape of the city of Toledo imagined by such a spiritual painter as El Greco.

Sobre la colección

This collection turns some of the most representative elements of the Spanish industrial heritage into artworks. We combine images of each heritage element with the textures of different art masterpieces using a neural style transfer algorithm to generate compositions of approximately 600x480 pixels. Each image is combined with different textures to show multiple aesthetic interpretations of the same location by modifying the starting images and weight parameter of each style. We also do this by presenting different points of view of some of the locations. Several of the buildings or places in the collection have been chosen as a result of their unique characteristics that are explained in the descriptions of the creations that are part of the collection.

This collection has been created with funding from "Ayudas para la modernización e innovación de las industrias culturales y creativas 2022-Ministerio de Cultura y Deporte" from the Spanish Government.
