AI Da Vinci: Brushstrokes Across Five Centuries

In the AI era, creativity knows no bounds. Imagine Leonardo da Vinci traveling 500 years through time to paint your exclusive portrait. How can we convince the Renaissance master, once a painter to royals, to take up his brush again? Through the synergy of ComfyUI and Stable Diffusion, enhanced by stylized LoRA and facial mapping tools, we’ve created an engaging interactive journey. This experience bridges the "cutting-edge" techniques of the 15th century with today’s AI technology, creating a brilliant fusion of past and future.

The Delicate Balance Between Precision and Art

During the Renaissance, Da Vinci's patrons were primarily the social elite, including the nobles and the Papal Court. When these prominent figures commissioned artists 500 years ago with vast sums, they expected more than just a "realistic" representation; they sought an "idealized" symbol of glory. Today, reinterpreting Da Vinci's style through AI to create noble portraits for a modern audience is a task filled with creative challenges. Da Vinci's masterpieces are renowned for their soft sfumato lighting, masterful anatomical precision, and profound symbolism. In contrast, modern society exhibits unprecedented diversity and individuality in physical appearance, presenting numerous hurdles for AI in simulating Da Vinci's aesthetic. Much like how Da Vinci had to meticulously deliberate and adjust while crafting aristocratic portraits, AI must undergo countless iterations to find a form of expression that preserves classical artistic charm while resonating with contemporary aesthetics.

Mobile Business Models

This collaboration with KKLIVE aims to explore the future potential of AI-generated art while establishing an agile and mobile business model. Through the integration of diverse interfaces, precise parameter tuning, and the optimization of interactive experiences, we have infused the exhibition with enhanced engagement and immersion. In this creative journey across time and space, we sincerely invite the audience to witness the fusion of tradition and future, exploring the boundless possibilities of AI art together.
