Censoring art should be illegal. Youtube should feel deep shame forcing people to do it.

[jzwalzrobin]

the faces' proportions have been changed and do not look like the original.

[rickymack]

I can't believe Youtube is fuzzing out the statue of David

[tomwalker]

The pixelization is blasphemous. You admire the originals enough to bring them to "life, " but are afraid to show the original works of art? I'd understand if you pixelated the ones brought to life, but not the originals. By doing that, you automatically convey that you think the originals are obscene. By the way, there are plenty examples of these statues on YT and other platforms that are NOT censored, so you can't use that as an excuse.

[Cyberautist]

Yeah I can see that this A.I. produces not faces based on the statues, but based on generic male models and actors. Not really exciting.

Es muy desagradable ver la censura al cuerpo humano en lo artístico cuando no existe ninguna connotación ilegal en ello.
Mal por quien promueve la censura en el arte clásico. Esto es castrante, obtuso y retrogrado.

[juninhobill]

I would fall in love with all of them.

[siegfriedenea]

interesting to see how every single reconstruction has nothing to do with the relevant statue

[yoyo-bsmd]

😂😂😂😂 not a single one got even a slight ressembance!

[catsinq]

I stopped at David. Can't beat perfection.

[johnblakeH]

Yes, I've wondered what the models for these statues might have looked like. I'm still wondering.

Es insoportable ver estas obras de arte censuradas por estos mojigatos de Youtube, no se les debería permitir que modifiquen y retoquen la obra, al igual que le hicieron a Miguel Angel con las bragas que pusieron a sus desnudos en la capilla Sixtina, es increíble el retroceso al que vamos en Occidente

Censoring the statue of David is a *CRIME* 😡😡😡

[joaovictoreuclidesmelo]

This censorship of works of art is absurd. YouTube's policies are no excuse for this, especially since there are several nude scenes here. As well as human reconstructions of these statues should not be censored.

Ancient Greek sculptures. The thumbnail shows Michelangelo's David.

[Steve-gcnt]

They were all men's aftershave models then?

[noraluciafermoselle]

Beautiful!!! the sculptures and the men are perfect! Great job!

[timcox]

pixellating the statues is criminal. I'll bet they wouldn't do that to Venus or any other female statue. In defense of YouTube, each of these statues elsewhere is not pixelated. This is done by the creators of this video.

[furacaobranco]

Awesome! And I wish I could listen to this song on Spotify!
