From Innovation to Art: The History of AI Images

During Faking History, speakers will reflect on Panta Rhei, a project in which artist Daan Paans calls into question the assigned value of historical artifacts.

Alongside the artist himself, Martin Berger (curator Middle and South America at Museum of Ethnology, Leiden) and Saba Askary (researcher in the field of classical historiography and contemporary art) will introduce their unique perspectives to the discussion. Daan Paans will speak about his project and artistic practice in conversation with curator Mirjam Kooiman (Foam).

ABOUT FOAM 3H: DAAN PAANS - PANTA RHEI In the opening scene of Indiana Jones &ndash; Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), the fictional archaeologist Indiana Jones manages to obtain the coveted Golden Idol from a hidden temple deep in the Peruvian jungle. This magical film prop is based on a pre-Columbian statuette from the Dumbarton Oaks Museum in Washington, that allegedly represents the Aztec goddess Tlazolteotl. Research has revealed that this figurine is not pre-Columbian after all, but was most likely produced in Europe or Asia in the nineteenth Century. Paans was captivated by the confusion between replica and original, and how the museum assigned value to this object.&nbsp;The artist continued this cultural mutation in a kind of visual version of &lsquo;Chinese whispers&rsquo;: based on photos, Paans let artisans from various countries created a new replica, transforming the sculpture. Paans visualised&nbsp;how our interpretations change imperceptibly over time and questions the value we assign to artworks and historical artefacts.
<a href="/museum/programme/daan-paans">&gt; Exhibited at Foam 3h until 24 February 2019</a>
The project Panta Rhei by Daan Paans was developed with support from the Mondriaan Fund.

A still from Wild Encounters, 2023

"At a certain point I lost track of you. 
They make a desolation and call it peace. 
when you left even the stones were buried: 
the defenceless would have no weapons." 

"When the ibex rubs itself against the rocks, 
who collects its fallen fleece from the slopes? 
O Weaver whose seems perfectly vanished, 
who weighs the hairs on the jeweller’s balance?"

"If only somehow you could have been mine, 
what would not have been possible in the world?" 

‘In the lake the arms of temples and mosques are locked in each other’s reflections.  
Have you soaked saffron to pour on them when they are found like this  
centuries later in this country  
I have stitched to your shadow?’
