Mauro Martino is an Italian artist, designer and researcher.[1] He is the founder and director of the Visual Artificial Intelligence Lab at IBM Research, and Professor of Practice at Northeastern University.[2] He graduated from Polytechnic University of Milan, and was a research affiliate with the Senseable City Lab at MIT.

His works have been published in "The Best American Infographics" in 2015[3] and 2016 editions[4] and have been shown at international festivals and exhibitions including Ars Electronica[5], RIXC Art Science Festival[6], Global Exchange at Lincoln Center [7], TEDx Cambridge THRIVE and TEDx Riga[8] as well as the Serpentine Gallery[9]. In 2017, his project Network Earth received the National Science Foundation's award as Best Scientific Video. [10]

Mauro Martino is a pioneer in the use of the artificial neural network in sculpture.[11]

Notable works:

  • AI Portraits [12] is a research project that uses artificial neural network to reconstruct a portrait of a person. The AI system was trained on a dataset that included millions of photos of actors and actresses. [13]
  • WonderNet [14] was developed in collaboration with Albert-László Barabási at the Center for Complex Network Research[15] at Northeastern University. WonderNet includes 8 data sculptures which represent 8 different "data-stories" (e.g., art network, flavor network, fake news network, etc.). It was presented at the IEEE VIS 2018 Arts Program in Berlin. [16]
  • Forma Fluens [17] uses the world’s largest doodle data set by Google Quick Draw. [18] This project was presented at 123 DATA design exhibition in Paris. [19]
  • Charting Culture maps cultural mobility, tracking the births and deaths of notable individuals, from 600 BC to the present day. [20] [21]. Charting Culture is one of the most viewed videos of the Nature Video channel on YouTube with over 1.3 million views. This project is part of the Places & Spaces: Mapping Science exhibit. [22] It was also featured in "The Best American Infographics 2015".[3]
  • News Explorer is a web application providing new interface for news analysis and discovery. [23]
  • Network Earth[24] won the 2017 Best Scientific Video award of the National Science Foundation. Network Earth explores nature's resilience and interconnections between all life on Earth. It accompanied a research paper published in Nature.[25]
  • Rise of Partisanship shows the party polarization of the House of Representatives through time.[26] [27] This project was included in "The Best American Infographics 2016"[4].
  • Redrawing the map of Great Britain from a network of human interactions explored a new approach to regional delineation, based on analyzing networks of billions of individual human transactions. [28]
