In collaboration with 28 institutions from around the world, Google Arts & Culture unveils “Inside a Genius Mind” — the largest online retrospective dedicated to the genius of the Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci, the master of many disciplines, showcasing his extraordinary codices alongside his artistic and scientific contributions.
Google’s blog suggests 5 gems from “Inside a Genius Mind“.
Leonardo’s world of codices is presented interactively with curated experiments powered by Machine Learning. The curator, Prof. Martin Kemp says it “transforms the diverse contents of the Codices into an interactive visual journey, engaging audiences with a powerful tool to learn more about the complexities and connections that run throughout Leonardo’s genius, rendering clear what seems obscure. The aim is to let Leonardo speak to us visually over the span of 500 years.”
3D models bring to life the inventions straight out of Leonardo’s sketches. See the sketch of the glider and a 3D rendition testimony of Leonardo’s dream to fly.
Leonardo da Vinci’s scattered masterpieces converge for the first time, transcending the confines of the individual galleries that preserve them. The visitor can zoom into the high-resolution digitization of some of Leonardo’s masterpieces.
Da Vinci Stickies is a funny wacky way to combine da Vinci’s sketches to generate ideas with the help of Google AI Image Generation Research.
With Street View, you can step into the places that marked stages of Leonardo’s life: from his hometown Vinci to the Sforza Castle which he decorated in Milan, moving over to France in the Loire at Chateau d’Amboise.
