REMEMBERING OLD NEW YORK THEN
AND NOW
Incredible footage of 1911 New York City is colorized by artificial intelligence in high resolution
The 1911 video entitled 'A Trip Through New York City' has been brought back to life more than a hundred years later by artificial intelligence.
Shot by a Swedish film production company, the black and white footage has be restored with neural networks to create a colorized, sharper version of the black and white movie.
The eight-minute clip transports viewers back in time to the Statue of Liberty, Battery Park, the New York Harbor and the famous Flatiron Building on Fifth Avenue.
YouTuber Denis Shiryaev posted the new video on his site which is now in 4K quality at 60 frames per second.
This 'upscaled' footage was created using neural network-powered algorithms such as Topaz Labs' Gigapixel AI and DAIN.
They are freely available online and Gigapixel AI uses an algorithm which 'analyses the image and recognizes details and structures and 'completes' the image' according to its website. Share

It clears up and sharpens the images even if they have been enlarged and become blurry.
DAIN is the technique responsible for the enhanced frame rate as it inserts frames into an existing video clip in a similar way to 4K video smoothing.

The footage was first released in 2018 by the Museum of Modern Art.
It was filmed by a team of cameramen with the Swedish company Svenska Biografteatern. The cameramen were sent around the world to take photos and videos of well-known places.
The group traveled to Niagara Fall, Paris, Venice and Monte Carlo in addition to New York City.
The video was 'produced only three years before the outbreak of World War I, the everyday life of the city recorded here - street traffic, people going about their business - has a casual, almost pastoral quality,' the museum wrote.
The streets are roaming with trolleys, wagons, horse and buggies and a few cars are seen on the roads.
Using neural networks, the YouTuber was able to clear up and sharpen the images in the video, which takes you through Fifth Avenue, over the Brooklyn Bridge (pictured) and even through Battery Park
The famous Flatiron Building (pictured), known for its odd shape, also looks almost exactly like it did in the 1900s

While the working class, both men and women, are wearing more comfortable, cheaper clothing.
The opening shot starts with a view of the Statue of Liberty and a glimpse of boats coming into the Harbor, which was the first thing seen by immigrants was traveling to the US.
The Harbor has since become a tourist attraction and is still used today for tourist boats and ferries.
The video takes you through Fifth Avenue, over the Brooklyn Bridge and even through Battery Park.
Some of the landmarks - like the Statue of Liberty - look very much similar to how it was in 1911. Other areas have changed drastically over the past century.

The streets in 1911 were lined with trolley tracks and were mostly bustling with buggies, but a few cars were used on the roads by the upper class
Pictured is a scene over the Brooklyn Bridge, which appears to have more space for those taking a stroll than it does today
At one point in the video, a boat is seen arriving at the Harbor with the Statue of Liberty in the background.
The Harbor has become a tourist attraction and is still used today for tourist boats and ferries.
Fifth Avenue in 1911 wasn't as busy as it is now. People back then weren't always in a hurry and dressed up in suits. Now, Fifth Avenue is a major tourist attraction and shopping destination.
The Brooklyn Bridge has also gone through a lot of changes in the past 100 years. When the video was filmed in 1911, the bridge had a lot of space for commuters crossing the bridge.

The John Ericsson statue (pictured) in Battery Park also makes an appearance in the video. The statue, in honor of the American-Swedish inventor and engineer, looks almost identical now than it did back then
The bridge now has about half the space for those walking across the bridge.
Herald Square in 1911 and Herald Square in 2018 have very few similarities. In the film, the New York Herald Building is seen but the building no longer exists.
The area is still known as Herald Square, but it's now full of restaurants and shopping stores.

Flames erupt from the South Tower of the World Trade Center, after it was struck by hijacked United Airlines Flight 175, in New York City, on September 11, 2001. The aircraft crashed into the tower traveling at a speed of approximately 586 miles per hour.

Remembrance is not about taking advantage of the mass hysteria of those who “Succumb” .. Remembrance is not about an open pocket book to just write checks for death and destruction on a global scale. Remembrance is not about the “Fat Cats” getting fatter on this death and destruction.
When you remember 9/11 this time round you will be asked by the media and the “Succumbed “ to remember the so called perpetrators of this “Horrific Event”. This is a renewed attempt at seeking your approval to carry on this “Death and Destruction” at will, this is the very reason “Why Not to” remember this “Horrific Event”. If allowed this “Horrific Event” will, and has really already become your New “Holocaust “ with the old “Holocaust” all but forgotten and ignored the new has been brilliantly created for the very purposes of furthering the “Bloodsucking Leaching “ of the planets human resources, without resistance .Actually quite brilliant except for the fact this is not 1939 and this world is not the same world of uninformed people that existed in that era. This is now a world of connectivity something that the “Few” really don’t have. And the connected have already routed out the real perpetrator’s of this “Horrific Event”. As we watch this world plummet into a real live global crisis the real perpetrators are counting on the masses to not have the will or the ability to question or search out the truth in this matter, but rather will have nothing to do but try and save their own lives and or livelihood.This time around try and remember all those masses affected in a very negative way, and then think of those few that have made a literal “Killing” from this “Horrific Event” Remember the thousands who have blindly walked into “The Shadow of The Valley of Death” seeking to destroy a falsely accused, accused with proven false evidence,and Intel not even close to real. Intel, not investigated, an accused not given trial let alone fair trial. So when you remember try and remember what do you really stand for -is it Truth and Justice or is it just for the sake of some kind of misdirected “Revenge”?
Why “Not” to remember 9/11. Go for truth and justice, don’t be duped again.
