The Opponents: Still Object One from The Opponents

Flowing generative sculptures formed from analysing footage of the 1994 arcade fighting game Tekken.

Inspired by The Wrestlers, a sculpture from ca. 300 BC now in the Uffizi collection, The Opponents uses AI to extract the two players from the 1994 arcade game Tekken to create both a moving generative piece of work as the players fight, together with three still images from that sequence. If wrestlers were used in ancient Roman times as muses for art, then why not the pixel-born subjects of a video game?
