Description of the Project: 
The Next Rembrandt is a 3D-printed painting made out of over 11 billion Rembrandt pixels. It brings data and technology to a world that’s riddled with tradition, rather than innovation: ING’s sponsorship of Dutch arts and culture.
Made completely out of Rembrandt data from all of his 346 paintings, The Next Rembrandt brings back to life one of the greatest Masters of all time to life to create one more masterpiece. But this time, data is the painter and technology the brush.
To create the painting, facial recognition and machine software was designed to understand Rembrandt’s style and use those learnings to generate new facial features, which were assembled based on his use of geometric proportions. Finally, a height map was created to mimic Rembrandt’s brushstrokes. The file was brought to life through an advanced 3D printer that printed 13 layers of paint-based UV ink.
The project sparked an on-going global conversation about where data and technology can take us — about ING’s innovation defying imagination.
