The Concordia station is a modernist style building and represents one of the architectural jewels of the city of Bilbao due to its façade built in stone and iron but with large windows for interior lighting. On the ground floor, with access from Bailén street, is the passenger lobby, decorated in a style typical of the early 20th century. We like to think that stations can also be the gateway to other worlds, so we have opted to introduce a spiritual vision of Hieronymus Bosch.
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
Proyecto financiado con las ayudas para la modernización e innovación de las industrias culturales y creativas
