The Book of Veles ancient manuscript 001 by Jonas Bendiksen
Facsimile pages from the forged ancient Slavic text that was allegedly discovered in 1919 by Fyodor Izenbek. While the pages retain the form of the illustrated 1973 english language translation of the manuscript, these pages are a mixture of text generated by the machine learning AI system GPT-2, manipulated and original illustrations, original text and other elements. The AI-generated texts were created by using the 1919 fake Book of Veles as the system's training material, resulting in a second-generation forgery.
Edition: 1 of 1

The Book of Veles explores disinformation and credibility in computer generated images. Originally published in spring 2021 as a photobook about the Macedonian town Veles, where local youth ran hundreds of websites that pretended to be American news portals, earning quick cash and helping Trump get elected. This story also weaves in a sneaky pagan bear-god called Veles and the 1919 discovery of a forged ‘ancient’ manuscript. After the project circulated for months, a mysterious social media persona named Chloe Miskin revealed that the project itself was a forgery: all the subjects are 3D renderings and the text was written by the AI machine learning system GPT-2. This NFT collection features all the project’s intriguing strands: The “journalistic” images, the “historical” documents, the AI text – as well as a unique model gallery where the 3D avatars and objects can be traced back to the original images.
