Four new arts and AI experiments launched by Google Arts & Culture Lab's artist in residence

The world of art and culture is always in search of new and innovative ways to connect with audiences and create engaging experiences. In recent years, technology has played a significant role in bringing about new opportunities in the world of art. One of the most exciting developments in this field has been the intersection of art and artificial intelligence (AI). Google Arts & Culture Lab's artist residency program is a prime example of this trend, where artists and creative coders experiment with emerging technologies to solve cultural challenges or create new experiences for audiences. In this article, we will explore four new arts and AI experiments launched by Google Arts & Culture Lab's artist in residence.

XYZ TOY

Gael Hugo, the artist in residence at Google Arts & Culture Lab, has created an interactive game called XYZ TOY. The game is based on Google AI Image Generation Research and aims to inspire cultural discovery and learning through play. The game involves guessing a hidden word, with each tile containing a letter that reveals visual clues about the winning word. The typography used in the game is created by Google AI, adding a unique and exciting touch to the gameplay. This game is a fun and engaging way to learn about cultural elements while playing an interactive game.

Odd One Out

Caroline Buttet and Emmanuel Durgoni are Google Arts & Culture Lab artists in residence who have created an AI-generated game called Odd One Out. The game involves spotting the odd one out among the artworks on Google Arts & Culture. The AI generates "imposters" that are almost identical to the original artwork, making the game challenging and exciting. The game is a unique way to engage with the artworks on Google Arts & Culture and encourages users to pay attention to details.

Un-Dough!

Nicolas Barradeau is another Google Arts & Culture Lab artist in residence who has created a unique game called Un-Dough! The game is set in a world covered in colorful AI-generated dough, and the challenge is to guess the cultural monument hidden underneath. The game is designed to engage users in a playful and interactive way and encourages them to learn about cultural monuments from around the world. The use of AI-generated dough adds an exciting and unique visual element to the game.

Haiku Imagined

Lynn Cherny and Christine Surgue are Google Arts & Culture Lab artists in residence who have created an immersive experience called Haiku Imagined. The experience includes traditional and modern haiku, lovingly illustrated and animated with AI-generated fonts, video, and music. The experience offers a pause for users, encouraging them to slow down and enjoy the art and poetry. The use of AI-generated elements adds a unique and exciting touch to the experience, making it engaging and memorable.
