Inspiration

We took inspiration from Abdullah Hammas abstract paintings and then used it in beautiful video of Al-Ula.

What it does

It gives a vision of a living artwork through the adventure of Al-Ula

How I built it

We used the ML method of Style-transfer to train a model based on two art pieces from the artist, Abdullah Hammas. And then, we used that model to apply Hammas’s abstract painting style onto the frames of a 10-seconds video taken in Al-Ula, which resulted in beautiful scenes drawn in the artists unique abstract style.

Challenges I ran into

• Short time to produce the artwork (long feedback loop)
• Deciding on what’s the most fitting artworks from the artist

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

• Being accepted and participating in the AI Artathon
• Succeeding in creating the final artwork

What I learned

• We dived deeper in AI’s methods and learned a lot of topics in small time
• How with work with group members of different backgrounds.

What's next for AI2030

• Improve the quality of the video to be more realistic and less fuzzy/abstract
• Make the artwork interactive, for example, let the audience choose the input picture through a website or twitter bot.
• Develop the final artwork to be more presentable
• Using different AI Methods to explore the same concept
