As the video progresses his appearance and movements become more unhinged while Dali becomes more robotic. A nod to his influence within AI image generators output, but also a questioning of the artists role today with AI.
The first edition of CONTINUUM is set to take place during GM Barcelona! from September 27-29, 2023.
The digital art exhibit will showcase a selection of curated pieces from artists who will be given the task of creating an original piece inspired by the life and work of Salvador Dalí.
Encouraging diversity in interpretations while maintaining a connection to the original artist is a crucial aspect of the exhibit concept. This approach ensures that the new artworks created by emerging artists both pay homage to the legendary artist and also reflect the individuality and creativity of each participant.
