Cars, art and technology come together this week at BMW with the introduction of the “The Ultimate AI Masterpiece.” The collection of 8 Series models leverages NVIDIA’s open source “StyleGAN” artificial intelligence software to cross-reference over 50,000 images of artwork spanning 900 years of art history and a curated set of 50 works from renowned and emerging contemporary artists BMW has worked with over the past 50 years.
The high-tech “art cars” were created in partnership with creative technologist Nathan Shipley of Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, and Gary Yeh, Art Collector & Founder of ArtDrunk. The virtual art installation premieres in conjunction with Frieze New York 2021, as well as the 50
Art cars have been around for decades, but BMW is giving them a high-tech makeover as they’ve unveiled “The Ultimate AI Masterpiece.”
As the name suggests, the cars were created with artificial intelligence and they’ll debut as part of a virtual art installation in conjunction with Frieze New York 2021.
The cars were created in partnership with creative technologist Nathan Shipley and art collector Gary Yeh. They used Nvidia’s open source StyleGAN artificial intelligence software to “cross-reference over 50,000 images of artwork spanning 900 years of art history and a curated set of 50 works from renowned and emerging contemporary artists BMW has worked with over the past 50 years.” These pieces were used to teach the AI about art, so it could then come up with new designs of its own.
