Can an AI be creative? What does Art look like in a future where AI takes over most of human jobs? This project aims to ask these questions and let the visitor think about a possible answer themselves. We wanted to create an experience that is similar to being drawn by a street caricature artist like the ones you see in big Eurpean cities like Paris, Rome and Berlin. What does this experience feel and look like when the artist is a robot instead of a human and the human part of the interaction vanishes?
Portrait drawn by Bot-I-Celli
Installation
Visitors are getting a personal portrait. But in this case the „artist“ is an Artificial Intelligence. By using a face recognition algorithm it records the physiognomy of the visitors and creates an individual caricature based on a giant database of scribbles. Finally the portrait is drawn by a robotic arm.
