Ortelius, Abraham. Theatrum Orbis Terrarum Anversa, Abraham Ortelius e Christophe Plantin, 1584. In 2° (390 x 250 mm). Ritratto dell'autore in ovale entro elaborata cornice, 110 carte geografiche a doppia pagina, tutte in coloritura coeva, di cui 12 nel Parergon, Catalogus auctorum con 134 nomi, (mancano la terza parte con il Nomenclator Ptolemaicus, le tavole 4 e 5 con l'Africa e l'America oltre al frontespizio figurato, margini del ritratto e della pagina di dedica reintegrati, esemplare leggermente rifilato con qualche altro difetto e restauro.) Legatura di inizio secolo XIX in pergamena con titolo su tassello arancione, fregi dorati al dorso liscio, tagli verdi (piccoli difetti). Esemplare con bella coloritura di questo atlante considerato il primo atlante moderno. Koeman: "Shape and contents set the standards for later atlases, when the centre of the map-trade moved from Antwerp to Amsterdam. The characteristic feature of the Theatrum is, that it consists of two elements, forming part of a unitary whole: text and maps. This concept for a 'Theatre of the world' was followed through the 17th century. Before Ortelius no one had done this". - TAGS: Libri, libro, books, Viaggi

Herbert Coxon, Oriental Carpets, How they are Made and Conveyed to Europe, with a Narative of a Journey to the East in Search of Them. 10 plates by artist Mr. W.F. Smiles and a fold out map. First Edition 1883. A beautiful book. Perhaps the first book on Carpets and Rugs. Notes: In the early 1980's I made plans with a colleague, who was a film producer and camera man, to follow Coxon's route to Baku, observing the differences between his text and descriptions in 1800's and the current date. We presented the idea to Channel 4 who thought it was a great idea. (nb. This was before Michael Palin). They said they would look at the finished work to let us know how much to pay us. It was impossibly expensive for us to do without any advance.

Wolfgang M. Heckl - - 1958 Parsberg - lebt und arbeitet in München und Partenkirchen Phantom of the Opera. 2021. Aludibond, bedruckt und gebürstet. Verso signiert, datiert und bezeichnet. 100 x 120 cm (39,3 x 47,2 in). • Unikat. • Erstmals auf dem internationalen Kunstmarkt angeboten. • KI-Kunst auf der Grundlage des Musicals 'Phantom of the Opera'. Schon 1911 hat Wassily Kandinsky in seiner 'Improvisation III' mit seiner natürlichen Intelligenz als Künstler interpretiert, was er sah und fühlte während eines Konzerts. Im 21. Jahrhundert können Computer diesen Prozess übernehmen, sie können sowohl Musik in Kunst überführen als auch die Umkehrtransformation möglich machen, so wie z. B. Heckl schon 2006 atomare Landschaften aus seiner rastertunnelmikroskopischen Forschung mithilfe eines analytischen Algorithmus in atomare Klanglandschaften übersetzt hat. (Vgl.: Wolfgang M. Heckl. Atomare Klangwelten. Technical Report 1/2006, Andrea von Braun Stiftung, 2006, und Wolfgang M. Heckl. Moselculism. In Peter Weibel und Ljiljana Fruk, editors, Molecular Aesthetics, pages 361-367. ZKM/Center for Art and Media, Karlsruhe, 2013.) Bei 'Phantom of the Opera“ wurde ein ganz neuer Weg beschritten: Ein neuronales Netz wurde trainiert, mithilfe eines Variational Auto Encoders (VAE) anhand von mehreren zehntausend Bildern zu lernen, wie die visuelle Information in einen 512-dimensionalen Vektor kodiert werden kann, der dann als Funktionstest nach Dekodierung das ursprüngliche Bild wieder rekonstruiert. Ein simultanes Verfahren wurde im 2. Schritt auf zehntausende Musikstücke (midi-files) angewendet, so wie im 1. Schritt einen Picture-Variational Outoencoder (PictureVAE) nun einen MusicVariationalAutoEncoder (MusicVAE) zu generieren. Dabei wurden mit einer frei wählbaren Note Color Map den Noten Farben usw. zugeordnet. Im 3. Schritt wurde in der Programmiersprache Python das entscheidende Translations neuronale Verbindungsnetzwerk geschaffen (TNN), um den MusicVAE mit dem PictureVAE zu verbinden. Als Ergebnis kann damit die neuronale KI biderektional Musik und Bilder verbinden. (Vgl.: K. Wienand und W. M. Heckl, Neural Networks to Bidirectionally Connect Pictures and Music, eingereicht bei Leonardo, 2021) Als Funktionstest dient dabei die selbständige wiederholte Interpretation eines Musikstücks in ein Kunstwerk durch die eigenständige KI, die zu ähnlichen Resultaten führt. Viel Raum bleibt dabei zu spekulieren, ob die KI tatsächlich einen eigenständigen, vom analog arbeitenden menschlichen Künstler unabhängigen Mehrwert generieren kann, so wie man es von heutiger KI im Bereich der Mustererkennung, des menschlichen Sprachverständnisses oder der Vorschlagsalgorithmen auf einschlägigen Verkaufsportalen kennt.

[MAP OF POLAND AND THE BALTIC STATES] ALBRECHT CARL SEUTTERDucatus Pomeraniae Citerioris et Ulterioris. Principatibus, Comitatibus urbibus suis definitae Nova et Ampla Descriptio geographica. Augsburg, c. 1760. Six sheets joined to one large map, 98 x 167.5 cm. Map and title cartouche coloured. Paper slightly browning. First edition of Seutter’s 6-sheet map of Pomerania, first published in about 1760. The map was later re-issued by Conrad Tobias Lotter, with the title re-engraved. Seutter’s map is a simplified version of Lubben’s map, issued in approximately the same scale, but with numerous revisions and improvements. Showing the region on the south coast of the Baltic shared between Germany and Poland, from the Recknitz River near Stralsund in the west, via the Oder River delta near Szczecin, to the mouth of the Vistula River near Gdansk in the east. Created by Professor Lubben of Rostock University on the orders of Philipp II, Duke of Pomerania, who wanted a large-scale map that would be a comprehensive geography and history of the duchy. Although Lubben had mapped the island of Rugen on the Pomeranian coast in 1609, he had very little geographic information to guide him: the only map to precede this one of Pomerania was a small map by Peter Artopaus (later used by Münster and Ortelius). Lubben spent two years travelling throughout the country taking thousands of measurements, it was then another 6 years before the copperplates were completed, by Geelkerken in Amsterdam. However, although a very small number of the sheets printed in 1618 are known to have been presented to the Pomeranian court, the shortage of paper, and the 30 Years’ War intervened, and no known copies of this printing have survived. It was not until 1757, after Geelkerken’s original copperplates were discovered in the in Stralsund (a town featured in a vignette on the map), that the map was reissued. Lubben’s map was the model for virtually all atlas maps of Pomerania of the seventeenth century, including those of Blaeu and Janssonius, and Hondius dedicated his famous wall map of Asia to Lubben: see Shilder, «Monumenta Cartographica Neerlandica» VI, pp.150-151. It remained the only map of consequence of the region from its inception in 1618 until the Prussian topographical survey of the eighteenth century.
