MURAKA Me Myself and AI 2022
The "MURAKA Me Myself and AI" art show features a collection of six vibrant oil paintings, each 24" by 18", inspired by Murakami flowers and the lively colors of spring in New York.
What makes this exhibition unique is the innovative integration of artificial intelligence in the creative process. By using modern AI tools, I generated dynamic combinations of colors, shapes, and textures, training the software with images of my paintings and prompts referencing Murakami's style and the essence of NYC's spring season. This approach allowed me to experiment with new ideas while staying true to the artwork’s overall aesthetic.
Once the AI-driven compositions were ready, I applied traditional oil painting techniques to bring them to life on canvas, maintaining the distinct AI influence through both controlled and free-flowing brushstrokes. The result is a series of paintings that are both meticulously crafted and full of serendipity—vibrant, intricate, and rich with layers of intentionality.
To enhance the experience, viewers can use the Artivive App to access an augmented reality (AR) layer, which reveals animations and allows them to view the associated NFTs for each piece. The AR elements—featuring shifting colors, textures, and shapes set to music—transform the viewing experience, evoking different emotions compared to simply observing the static paintings. Influenced by Takashi Murakami’s bold, graphic style and his admiration for Warhol, I created rapidly evolving animations that offer a contemporary feel through saturated, ever-changing variations of the paintings.
The soundscapes accompanying the animations are designed to transport viewers to different worlds, often drawing inspiration from the auditory atmosphere of Manga films and video games. These sounds enhance the overall experience, amplifying the emotional depth of the artwork while exploring more modern, experimental elements in this series.
