Abstract

This paper introduces an art project called “The Beautiful Encounters” that resonates with the surrealist painter Rene Magritte’s work and aims to introduce an interactive scenario as a case study that applies AI technology. The article’s focus lies on the research process exploring methods to integrate the real-time image of the sky into an interactive artwork. The technical part explains how multiple technologies, like face tracking, its alignment, the AI model of face-parsing, shaders, and web technologies, are combined in the project. In the end, we discuss the importance of contextualizing AI-related artworks in relation to art history.
