[Local News] 'THE GREATEST ARTIST' Applauded as the First AI Multisensory Digital Art Exhibition built by Malaysians
Kuala
Lumpur, 2023 - FrameMotion Studio Sdn. Bhd. (FrameMotion Studio), a homegrown digital and immersive
experiential studio, has set a record in the Malaysian Book of Records
for creating the 'FIRST AI MULTISENSORY DIGITAL ART EXHIBITION' following
its successful debut of 'The Greatest Artist' exhibition. YB Datuk
Arthur Joseph Kurup, Deputy Minister of Science, Technology, and Innovation
(MOSTI), expressed his interest in pursuing measures that would showcase
our local Malaysian traditions, culture, and arts through modern technology on
a global scale after witnessing the extent of Malaysia's capabilities in the
said exhibition.
Because of
technological advancements worldwide, the adoption of artificial
intelligence (AI) has gained traction in many Malaysian entertainment
services. FrameMotion Studio was a co-organizer of the Van Gogh Alive
exhibition, which was held at Pavilion Bukit Jalil from December 2022 to March
2023, as part of its mission to lead Malaysia as a high-technology and
innovative country. Frame Motion Studio was tasked with curating and producing 'The
Greatest Artist,' a never-before-seen, fully-AI-powered, and interactive
exhibition that showcases an archive of Van Gogh, the historically
acclaimed artist's paintings through immersive experiences, to demonstrate
Malaysia's proficiency and advancements in AI.
FrameMotion
Studio is proud to have
made Malaysia the first country to feature an AI-powered exhibition in addition
to the world-renowned Van Gogh Alive exhibition, which has been a worldwide
success. This also reflects FrameMotion Studio's commitment to educating visitors
about the artist himself, Vincent Van Gogh, by guiding them through his
life in the 1800s. FrameMotion Studio hopes that by doing so, it will
inspire local artists and raise awareness in Malaysia about the importance of
nurturing and supporting our local creative industry.
"We produced
'The Greatest Artist' to set the benchmark for what can be achieved while using
artificial intelligence to convey inherent messages while portraying art,"
said Mr. Jeand Pua, Chief Executive Officer of FrameMotion Studio. Taking
inspiration from Vincent Van Gogh himself, we set out to create this AI-powered
exhibition in order to encourage local players to go above and beyond the norm
and make a positive impact on our society."
From the ideation
to the actual deployment and commissioning of the exhibition, it took a total
of one and a half months and 12 individuals to curate 'The Greatest Artist,'
giving visitors a deep dive into the artist's life history and a hands-on
immersive Van Gogh art history experience through multiple interactive
activities such as:
1. INFINITY
STARRY WALKWAY: A walkway made of LED strip installations that is
surrounded by a mirror that reflects the visitor's reflection.
2. THE LIGHT
OF HOPE: Experience the pulsating energy of sunflowers inspired by Van
Gogh's masterpiece as they react to your presence and follow your every move.
3. AI
SELF-PORTRAIT: Visitors' portraits were painted in the Post-Impressionist
style of one of the world's most famous artists, Vincent Van Gogh. As one of
Asia's first deployments of AI-generated portrait paintings, visitors to the
exhibition were among the first in Asia to take home their own
Post-Impressionist portraits!
4. SHOWER OF
JOY: As the flowers withered and fell, visitors were able to celebrate the
event's significance by witnessing flower petals swirl and land on them,
touching their souls. This was inspired by the Nihonga paintings of Reiji
Hiramatsu.
Since their
inception, the two exhibitions have become one of Malaysia's most popular forms
of entertainment, with a total of 150,000 tickets sold throughout the event
period, with the first 100,000 sold in just 5 days when ticket sales were
launched in early December.
YB Datuk Arthur
Joseph Kurup, Deputy Minister of Science, Technology, and Innovation (MOSTI),
shared during an exclusive visit, "We are always looking for new ways to
do things in line with new technology to enhance people's experience and
advance the efficiency of doing things." I believe that by utilising
technology, we can enhance the experience and make it more appealing so that
they are not just coming here for a visual experience in Malaysia but a more
interactive one, so I am very pleased to see Malaysians taking the initiative
to adopt new technology, AI, and multi-sensory elements so that we can give
more spotlight to the creative industry. I hope that we can use this technology
to promote local arts and content, so that we can demonstrate to the world that
we are not only rich in arts and culture, but that we can use modern technology
to promote our traditional arts and culture."
"Malaysians do not lack the ability to embrace modern technology, and what FrameMotion did is an excellent example of this." We need to find ways to allow more Malaysian corporations to shine, and as a government, we want to help wherever we can to give Malaysians a platform to showcase their talent and to play a larger role in not only the arts and culture, but also the technology scene. "I'd like to see more young people get involved in technology and the local art scene, to see how we can modernise something so traditional as arts and culture by utilising the new technology that we have," he added.
The first AI multi-sensory
digital art exhibition aimed to revitalise Malaysia's entertainment industry by
providing an unparalleled immersive exhibition experience, shedding light on
the stigma of traditional museum visits. This cutting-edge technology
exemplified the company's commitment to pushing the boundaries of creativity
and machine intelligence through a variety of cutting-edge AI-generative art
technologies applied to artworks.
FrameMotion
Studio is excited to develop and curate more Malaysian-made innovative experiences
in the near future, following the overwhelming success of 'The Greatest Artist'
through rave online reviews and ticket sales. Furthermore, the homegrown studio
is currently in discussions with overseas partners about the possibility of
bringing The Greatest Artist around the world, showcasing the talents of
Malaysian corporations, and advancing Malaysia's technological capacity to
greater heights.
