THiNK – Digital Culture Festival

On May 9th at Nana Bianca, you can find a selfie wall of 2×2 meters realised by Cecilia Lascialfari,
together with Artivive and Think – Festival della Cultura Digitale

On the occasion of the Festival della Cultura Digitale “THiNK 2024”, which this year will be held on 10-11-12 May in the center of Figline, the Municipality of Figline e Incisa Valdarno decided to create a connection with Artivive and create a “selfie wall” for the event.

The image printed on the 2 by 2 meter selfie wall was created with a series of image generations using Generative Artificial Intelligence.
Augmented Reality has been added to this.
The animation works when the person stands in front of the selfie wall; By framing the image with the Artivive application, the wings with the colors of THiNK 2024 come alongside the person and come to life and begin to move.
It is then possible to record a video to share on social media via the Artivive app, with the selfie wall background portraying an infinite interstellar world and the person flying inside the technology. All this thanks to Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality (and creativity!).

In this case the software used is Midjourney (version 6 Alpha).
The generation of images with AI software occurs very simply but it is only the continuous processing of the image through the software and the subsequent processing with digital tools (such as Photoshop, After Effects…) that leads the artist to achieve the final result.

The project was entrusted to the Italian artist Cecilia Lascialfari, who lives in Florence, but she travels all over the world always looking for new ideas and connections.
Cecilia Lascialfari, speaker and researcher in the AI field, exhibited her work in April 2024 in a collateral event of the Venice Biennal 2024 (created with a mix of analogue, digital art and Artificial Intelligence) and will be present in person at the Festival della Cultura Digitale “THiNK 2024”, Saturday 11 May to answer all questions about the THiNK 2024 selfie wall, and how it is possible to bring together AI, Art and Creativity, through analogue and digital art.
