Sorolla, a new dimension

For the immersive exhibition Sorolla, A New Dimension, a central interactive installation was architected to bridge the gap between Joaquim Sorolla’s 19th-century luminist style and contemporary machine creativity through the lens of AI. Housed within a custom-designed photo booth, the system autonomously captured visitor portraits and reimagined them in real-time, allowing audiences to see themselves woven into the artist’s iconic brushwork and light.

The project required the development of a high-throughput pipeline capable of handling a continuous museum environment. This included an intuitive iPad-based capture interface synchronized with a backend running specifically tuned Deep Learning Diffusion models. A core challenge was balancing aesthetic fidelity with performance; the system was engineered to preserve the visitor’s unique facial features while applying the nuanced, sun-drenched textures of Sorolla’s paintings. The generated artworks were then displayed on a large-scale gallery screen, integrating visitor contributions into the collective exhibition space alongside the original masterpieces.
