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. Mauro was formerly an Assistant Research Professor at Northeastern University working with Albert-Laszlo Barabasi at Center for Complex Network Research and with David Lazer and Fellows at The Institute for Quantitative Social Science (IQSS) at Harvard University.[3]

His works have been published in "The Best American Infographics" in 2015[4] and 2016 editions[5] and have been shown at international festivals and exhibitions including Ars Electronica,[6] RIXC Art Science Festival,[7] Global Exchange at Lincoln Center,[8] TEDx Cambridge THRIVE and TEDx Riga[9] as well as the Serpentine Gallery.[10] His work is in the permanent collection at Ars Electronica Center.[11] In 2017, the project Network Earth received the National Science Foundation's award as Best Scientific Video.[12] The project AI Portraits won the 2019 Webby People's Voice Award in the category NetArt.[13]

Mauro Martino is a pioneer in the use of the artificial neural network in sculpture.[14][15]

Notable works

  • AI Portraits [16] 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.[17]
  • WonderNet [18] was developed in collaboration with Albert-László Barabási at the Center for Complex Network Research[19] 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.[20]
  • Forma Fluens [21] uses the world’s largest doodle data set by Google Quick Draw.[22] This project was presented at 123 DATA design exhibition in Paris.[23]
  • Charting Culture maps cultural mobility, tracking the births and deaths of notable individuals, from 600 BC to the present day.[24][25] 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.[26] It was also featured in "The Best American Infographics 2015".[4]
  • News Explorer is a web application providing new interface for news analysis and discovery.[27]
  • Network Earth[28] 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.[29]
  • Rise of Partisanship shows the party polarization of the House of Representatives through time.[30][31] This project was included in "The Best American Infographics 2016".[5]
  • 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.[32]

Awards

  • 2019: Webby People's Voice Award – Winner, NetArt, AI Portraits [13]
  • 2017: Vizzies Visualization Challenge by National Science Foundation and Popular Science -- Winner, Best Scientific Video, Network Earth[12]
  • 2017: Kantar Information is Beautiful Award – Honorable Mention, Unusual, Forma Fluens [33]
  • 2016: Innovation by Design Award by Fast Company, Finalist for Websites & Platforms, Watson News Explorer [34]
  • 2016: Kantar Information is Beautiful Award – Silver Medal, Commercial Project, IBM Watson News Explorer [35]
  • 2015: Kantar Information is Beautiful Award – Gold Medal in Data visualization, Rise of Partisanship [36]
  • 2015: Kantar Information is Beautiful Award – Honorable mention - Motion Infographic, Charting Culture[37]
