Evolving from traditional forms like photography, movies, and commercialized art by artists like Andy Warhol, today's artificial intelligent art prompts a reconsideration of design originality. Art For All embraces technological progress, exploring the crossroads of machine-generated art and widespread human involvement, aiming to democratize art creation. Offering a unique opportunity, Art For All empowers the public to craft installation art based on basic geometries and personal preferences, without constraints on size or location.
In our pursuit, we recognize that while discrete structures lend themselves to efficient mass production, introducing customization through color enhances inclusivity and diversity. Our extensive exploration of colors, textures, and patterns has led to versatile, open-ended systems that fuel human creativity and imagination. These narratives of play and interaction serve as tools to democratize design processes, fostering community empowerment through hands-on engagement.
