LA JUVENTUD -- TREMENDO

2020. ESPAÑA.

Music made using archive material from the National Spanish Film Archive, in particular from the excellent Sagarminaga collection that contains traditional and documentary scenes from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The oldest fragment we have used dates from 1896 and the most modern from 1904.

All the material has been remastered and processed using artificial intelligence. Open-source Deep learning algorithms were used to color, rescale and increase the frame rate of the videos to give them a contemporary look. To the documentary images we have added a series of deepfakes of pictures of the archive of the National Library of the same period.

We have to deeply thank all the scientific community that publishes the deep learning libraries, allowing to integrate them into creative processes. In particular we have used the following processes.
