Dreams involve vivid mental imagery and narrative flow, making them feel like real experiences. The future of XRAI research should aim to replicate this vividness to create immersive and realistic dream-like experiences in virtual environments. Last night at #SentientHorizons in ADI, Mattia Carretti, co-founder of fuse*, introduced #Onirica —an innovative project that stands as one of the first profound uses of #AI to visualize dreams. The work merges the realms of art and technology, challenging us to see if generative AI can truly #embody an "anima" (soul) worthy of the vividness of our dreams. Carretti spoke about the unique challenge of bringing AI-generated images to life with #emotionaldepth. The #interdisciplinary team aims to push the boundaries of what AI can achieve in representing human experiences, opening new doors for artistic and technological exploration. "Onirica is an audiovisual work that explores the dimension of dreams, interpreting through synthetic languages the creative ability of the human mind during sleep. Through the use of algorithms capable of translating textual content into images, Onirica brings tales of night visions back into the domain of the visible, proposing novel reflections on the relationship between human and machine, between tool and creator." Watch: https://lnkd.in/d-AN7Dq5 This project builds on decades of dream research, particularly notable work from 2019 by Yuki Kamitani's team [I've cited previously], who used machine learning and fMRI to visualize dreams. Onirica stands as a significant milestone, offering further insights into the human mind and laying the groundwork for future research into the emergent landscape of XRAI dreams.

I had an exciting conversation with Gerald Böse, CEO of Koelnmesse GmbH, in a recent podcast. He shared valuable insights on his journey in the exhibitions industry and Koelnmesse's evolution. In our discussion, we covered the strategies that fueled Koelnmesse's successful in-house exhibitions post-COVID and explored some of the industry's pressing topics, including digitalization, artificial intelligence, and sustainability. Tune in to hear from Gerald as he shares Koelnmesse's approach and perspective on what's next for exhibitions.

Real-time experimentation at its finest. We created a live show format featuring an AI cohost -- Zeke -- during Cannes Lions. A few fun facts: 1.) Zeke's voice was not ready until the day of the production. In fact, we prepared all week to use text interactions for him to ask questions, interject, offer up factoids and answer prompts. We literally learned in real-time what the experience would be like. Shout out to Stan Stalnaker and the Hub Culture team for prepping this all in less than 2 weeks. 2.) The legendary David Shing joined as a guest along with Dina Elrayyes the head of content and programming for Cannes Lions, and my favorite duo ever, Joe Michael Nickson and Vincent Bragg from ConCreates, Inc. NONE Of them knew exactly what we were doing, and their ability to be agile, informative, fun, inspiring and goofy deserves a big ol French Chef's Kiss. 3.) Over the 75 minutes we filmed (the cut below is about 30), Zeke amazed us with his learning curve, knowing who was speaking, re-phrasing their insights, recognizing moments to interject, introduced guests to the audience, and at one point event recited the lyrics to They Not Like Us while explaining the whole Kendrick vs. Drake beef. 4.) Taking this risk was both thrilling and frightening. Like any new-ish technology, we experienced a little latency, some out-of-the-blue interruptions, some almost cringe-worthy lack of discernment, and tons of hilarious moments. Our goal was not to be perfect, but more so to showcase some of the grand possibilities and demystify potential hurdles of what AI can allow space for. Plus it started raining minutes before we were scheduled to begin. Literally a perfect storm for the lighting + human brains + AI monster movie trope. 5.) We'll do it again. :) I love the idea of being fearless about iterations and attempts and growth and participating in the cultivation of a whole new cultural norm vs standing on the sidelines waiting for it to be done. Can't wait till the next one. Stay tuned. #BecauseofHatch https://lnkd.in/gFj5RYyH

Generative AI: Artist Status and Copyright Following the roundtable at Reluxury Event held on Friday, November 15, 2024, I wish to explore a topic that sparked significant interest among the audience: the concept of copyright applied to AI-generated images. First and foremost, I must clarify that I am neither a lawyer nor an expert in intellectual property. I am a designer, an artist trained in art school, and my reflection is rooted in an artistic and cultural perspective. Throughout history, artists have continually questioned the very nature of creative action and the status of the artist. Let us consider AI as a machine—a mechanism designed by humans to be used by humans, in this case, through commands known as "prompts," for their benefit. By definition, AI is "inert": it does not create, feel, imagine, take a stance, or possess reflective capacity. It is merely a medium. In 1917, Marcel Duchamp presented his urinal, titled Fountain, challenging the very notion of art. Did one have to know how to draw to be considered an artist? In this specific case, who was the artist: the designer of the object or Duchamp, who through his gesture, declared the urinal a work of art? By claiming Fountain as an artwork, Duchamp added a handwritten signature. This act, much like a "prompt," signified human intervention and symbolic appropriation. Recently, courts have denied copyright protection for AI-generated images, arguing that human intervention was not sufficiently significant. This raises an intriguing question: how might these judges reinterpret modern and contemporary art from the 20th century through this lens? I want to clarify my position: I do not challenge the importance of copyright or intellectual property. However, I do make a distinction between two approaches: 1) Deliberately creating an image to parasitize, counterfeit, or unfairly compete with an existing work, which is illegal and reprehensible. 2) Creating a work based on universal artistic codes, derived from a shared cultural heritage to which every artist or creative has, directly or indirectly, contributed. I deeply believe that creative action is, above all, a human stance, driven by emotion in a specific moment, materialized in a tangible form. AI, on the other hand, remains a machine, "imbued" and "influenced" by a corpus of images and texts that reflect our civilization at a given moment. Finally, copyright should not be determined by the measurable extent of human intervention but by the intelligence and creativity with which the artist makes their work unique and distinctive.
