Visualization of Mythological Places Using Today's Technologies and Examining the Understanding of Culture-Place

Abstract

“Certainly, there cannot and shouldn’t be a universal understanding of the concept of myth. It is an inherently elusive concept, and its value lies in its continuous development as well as in its definition” (Esseb, 2008). Mythological stories bear a trace of themselves in different cultures. Therefore, mythology is suitable for comparative examination. Mythological scenes have been depicted through paintings, sculptures, or written texts till nowadays. Today, artificial intelligence technology includes new options and methods to make these scenes vivid and impressive. In this article, it has been ensured that some places/scenes selected from the mythological narratives that have survived to the present day are turned into visual outputs by using the data routing and processing of artificial intelligence from different platforms (Playground, BlueWillow).Visualization of mythological scenes using AI provides an example of art and technology working together and can increase the vitality of mythology, intercultural interaction, and curiosity.
