Infinite loop – AI Endless Exploration is Blending Pixels’ contribution to the Medimex 2024 edition, which focuses on Artificial Intelligence as one of its central themes.

In this Projected AI Experience, we explored and aimed to represent how Artificial Intelligence can inspire new forms of artistic and audiovisual expression, transforming how we create, perceive, and experience images and music.

Experimentation is fundamental: a participatory act in the creation process. Thus, we have tried, mindful of ethical implications, to push the limits of what generative AI models can offer. While these models are very effective for generating images, they must still be more efficient and challenging when creating videos.

It is a frontier with constantly advancing boundaries: what was once considered impossible is now within our reach, opening doors to infinite possibilities. Some of these, as proposed by the generative process, were integrated into our project. However, we had to discard most of them because they were incongruent, deformed, or inconsistent with the assigned instructions.

Shaping the theme of AI represents a necessary step in Blending Pixels’ path of experimentation, a step in a journey that began before AI became mainstream.
