From Ensor to Priest Daens: Melissa brings them to life with AI

Melissa uses hyperrealistic AI videos to bring Belgian historical figures to life on Instagram, attracting positive reactions. While the format is engaging, it raises questions about historical accuracy and representation. Historian Brecht Deseure appreciates the initiative for highlighting lesser-known figures but notes the potential for misrepresentation. Melissa emphasizes her research process and aims to introduce diverse historical narratives, avoiding figures who died less than 50 years ago to respect their descendants.
