Bring the feeling of a stunning mansion from the new “Ex Machina” thriller with Jackson PollockEx Machina” is a 2015 British science fiction thriller film written and directed by Alex Garland, marking his directorial debut. “Ex Machina” tells the story of a programmer Caleb who is invited by his employer Nathan to administer the Turing test to an android with artificial intelligence. The film flourishes with philosophical themes revolving around the idea of playing God with the inevitable creation of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Ex Machina” works as a study of what it means to be conscious/human. In one of the film’s most memorable scenes, two main characters examine a

drip painting by Pollock. They articulate how the artist made his hand go where it wanted but didn’t plan his every move. The piece of art would never have come to be if you preplanned every stroke. Consciousness exists in the gap between randomness and deliberated action, so as long as the AI is programed to do automatic actions, it

can never be regarded as truly conscious.No. 5, 1948 is a Museum of Art by Jackson Pollock, an American painter known for his contributions to the abstract expressionist movement. The painting was done on an 8′ x 4′ (2.4m x 1.2m) sheet of fiberboard, with thick amounts of brown and yellow paint drizzled on top of it, forming a nest-like appearance.

Surely, the painting we observe in “Ex Machina” is a replica because the artwork we’re speaking about today was sold at Sotheby’s auctionin November 2006 for a price of $140 million. The painting used to be the most expensive ever sold till 2011.

Pollock originally sold it for $1500 to the Abstractionist artist/collector Alfonso A. Ossorio, but it was damaged during delivery. Pollock thought he could patch

it up without Ossorio noticing the difference, but his patron did indeed notice. Pollock repaired the damage to the painting by completely altering the original, in contrast to how other artworks are repaired.

No. 5 brought a whole new influence to abstract expressionism. Pollock spread his canvases on the floor, dribbled paint, sand and broken glass on them, smeared and scratched them, named them with numbers. He wanted people to focus on the painting and feel what it brought to them. No. 5 is considered to be a valuable piece in the world and brought Pollock to the ranks of America’s greatest artists.To keep the memories of the movie, WahooArt.com offers a wonderful opportunity for all the fans.

Most Popular Artists at Wahoo Art

Each of us admired some piece of art at least once in our lifetime. And it is not strange… Let us recall the most popular painting – Mona Lisa. Is she considered to have a lovely face, a gorgeous figure, or some other physical attraction? Obviously, this painting is not famous because of the doubtless beauty of the woman depicted? So, what do #most famous paintings so famous? One of the

answers is MYSTERY. Is not it a mystery how some Handmade Portrait Painting – one from millions alike can rivet our eyes so tightly? How we set aside some artist and name him a genius? Something special must be in the way they lay down strokes on canvas or distribute light and shadows… Something really divine must be in the portraits, landscapes and abstractions of those artworks that are amazed of not for minutes or days but for centuries. Even nowadays a lot of art critics, auctioneers and even philosophers are breaking their heads over the question of a “divine spark” of famous paintings. And a lot of people are dreaming of to be eternalized in such artwork that will blow people’s minds and attract attention of nations around the globe. Some of them just sigh when looking on Modern Art Painting and imagine themselves being portrayed in the same way, while others order portrait painting from photo through internet.

Any way to my mind mankind will not solve the mystery of masterpiece creation. In the same way it is unlikely for us to catch the moment of transformation of someone’s portrait into a world famous painting that will be worshiped throughout the human history.
