Goya's masterpiece "Shooting the Rebels on the Night of May 3, 1808"
The painting is an oil on canvas painting by the Spanish painter Goya in 1814 and is now in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain. The Prado Museum is considered one of the greatest museums in the world and the most comprehensive and authoritative collection of Spanish paintings, receiving millions of visitors every year. The collection includes art treasures from Spain and Italy from the 15th to the 19th century. In particular, the works of the Spanish painter Goya are the most abundant.
Although Goya admired and longed for the French Enlightenment, when Napoleon's army invaded Spain, he saw violence, suffering and helplessness, so he picked up the paintbrush. The soldiers lit their lights to facilitate shooting, and the people who were shot had not yet figured out what was happening, and they were still chasing in horror. There is no heroism here, only confusion and grievances.
To be honest, Goya's paintings are not beautiful. Many art lovers have been asking Why Goya has such a big influence in Spain. His pen has a soul, and Goya is always concerned with human nature, feelings and facts. This unique anti-trend thinking brings goya unlimited creativity.
Goya's exalted status in Spain, and his disappointment with the world and religion became the fodder of his rich imagination. He used his observations and colors to metaphorically describe the dark world, choosing to analyze the society of that time in detail with images such as grotesques, nightmares, fantasies, and demons. Therefore, he is a great artist with a universal sense of justice. Goya's mining and use of irrationality, the expression of ugliness and absurdity, and the disregard for heroes all had an extremely great influence on Romanticism, Symbolism, and Impressionism.
The Cubist master Picasso used Goya's elements and styles to embody the escape from norms, and many of his major works run through the rebellion against norms and rationality, the exploration of reconstruction and destruction.
What we are exploring today is not Goya's work and his influence, but a black technology.
In an illness in 1792, Goya became utterly deaf and mute. He was neither Reynolds's hearing weakened nor Beethoven's tinnitus, and his hearing was lost forever. For him, all the beautiful and complete moments turned into a pantomime. But a whole new world appeared before his eyes as he began to pay attention to darkness and lip service. Any deaf-mute who can do anything is bound to read and use lip language, especially Goya.
Many people have seen the thriller movie "Lip Talk Horror" starring Cassel and Dove. Shy, introverted, deaf Carla, after meeting Paul, who has just been released from prison, encounters all kinds of sudden killing opportunities in the process of moving towards love, and the tools to crack it are telescopes and lips.
Thriller movie "Lip Talk Horror"
The meticulous reader will surely find that Goya's later paintings are rich in lip language. The most brilliant of the paintings of "Shooting the Rebels on the Night of May 3, 1808", his gestures, lips and eyes express a meaning, he asks, why was he shot? And the French soldiers are very sure: you are tonight's insurgent, the enemy of France, maybe you have just returned from labor, but you have the tools in your hands that may kill people.
It seems that reading lip language can deeply appreciate Goya's paintings. In fact, ancient monks and priests communicated through lip talk, showing the magic of the gods. In the 2003 London money robbery, the police solved the big case by lip recognition. Today's lip recognition is a composite technology that integrates machine vision and natural language processing. By analyzing the continuous changes of lip shape, the system performs model recognition and transforms it into corresponding pronunciation and language. This kind of "machine lip reading" has very important application scenarios in the fields of public safety, military intelligence, identity recognition and social welfare.
In the vehicle scene, the voice cannot be distinguished, the monitoring is mainly based on camera, and lip recognition can help public security personnel obtain important speech information and provide support for public safety.
Artificial intelligence will have a huge market of trillions of dollars in the future, although speech design, image recognition, and gesture recognition are all important sub-fields, but lip recognition cannot be missing. In 2016, Google's DeepMind phonetic lip recognition system can already support 17,500 words, and the recognition accuracy of news test sets has reached more than 50%.
Sometimes, big advances in society depend on small advances in technology.
This year's epidemic has made us can't help but pay attention to Spain, if Goya is still alive, he will certainly be able to create a masterpiece from his unique perspective, similar to this painting "Shooting the insurgents on the night of May 3, 1808".
