The 8: Artificial Intelligence turns your car into digital artwork
With the tech world progressing far beyond our wildest dreams and the metaverse becoming the new universe, art has always had a place in this ever-changing sphere.
But... what of the motoring world? Our favourite motoring brand has undertaken an AI exploration to combine nearly a millennium of Art, with 21st century Tech. Though, it is a well-known fact that BMW is no stranger to creating this link...
Since the 70's, BMW's Art Cars have been rolling examples of how Art and Technology can be combined, in the most aesthetically pleasing ways. With the Art Car collection exhibiting works by some of the most world renowned artists. It is only fitting then that BMW take this leap.
And what more worthy than the beautiful BMW 8 series Gran Coupé, a piece of rolling art in its own right, to be the canvas for this 21st century "masterpiece".
So how does AI come in?
Ever imagined what an algorithm fed with 50,000 images of artworks spanning 900 years of art history and contemporary art can create? Turning this into stunning reality while building on BMW’s history of combining innovation and art, we’ll tap artificial intelligence, creative technologist Nathan Shipley and collector and founder of ArtDrunk Gary Yeh to create “The Ultimate AI Masterpiece,” which will be projected onto the most sophisticated canvas—the BMW 8 Series Gran Coupé.
Can an algorithm rethink art? The American creative technologist has been exploring the creative-design potential of artificial-intelligence technology for some time now. “AI is an emerging medium of creative expression. It’s a fascinating space where art meets algorithm and becomes an incredible tool for artists,” said Shipley.
