Art Historian Emily L. Spratt collaborates with Acclaimed French Chef Alain Passard on Gastronomic Algorithms

Art Historian, artist, and data scientist Emily L. Spratt collaborated with the French Chef Alain Passard to use AI to analyze and generate experimental images of the renowned vegetable forward dishes of the Three-Star Michelin restaurant Arpège in Paris. In a paper that recently came out in Leonardo, MIT Press, Dr. Spratt explains the gastronomic algorithms project and how the duo explored the creative process behind the art of plating through their emulation of the portraits of the Renaissance painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo. In the fall of 2019, the results of the collaboration were exhibited in the exhibition Au-Delà du Terroir, Beyond AI Art as a part of the Global Forum on AI for Humanity that was hosted by President Emmanuel Macron in Paris at the Institut de France.
