Reflections of Essence

This piece takes a known traditional art form, fine art portrait painting -- its history, style, palette, and knowledge space -- and disrupts it into an experience, an emotion and artificial intelligence interactive. We use our Creative Artificial Intelligence System (CAIS) software tools (we write) that take as source a photograph of a interacting viewer in front of our digital canvas and through their selection of an emotion (how they feel or what the effect is that they want to explore) creates and evolves an art portrait of them (Figure 1 & 2).
