Reinhard uses AI to bring Tilburg back a century ago
Belgian artist Reinhard de Jonge, known online as Travelreinhard, uses artificial intelligence to animate historical photographs of cities like Tilburg, Breda, and Rotterdam. By matching old images with current photos taken from identical positions, he creates videos that make static scenes move, effectively transporting viewers back in time. De Jonge conducts extensive research using archives and databases to locate original photo spots before traveling to capture modern equivalents. His work has garnered 40,000 Instagram followers, serving as a digital museum that helps residents discover forgotten local history through these vivid, AI-enhanced visual transformations.
