“I believe in general in death, but in the death of Dali, absolutely not.” Salvador Dal'i

Just in time of his 115 Anniversary, St.Petersburg (Florida, US) museum of Salvador Dal'i brought him back alive using AI technologies

“The exhibition, called Dal'i Lives, was made in collaboration with the ad agency Goodby, Silverstein & Partners (GS&P), which made a life-size re-creation of Dal'i using the machine learning-powered video editing technique. Using archival footage from interviews, GS&P pulled over 6,000 frames and used 1,000 hours of machine learning to train the AI algorithm on Dal'i’s face. His facial expressions were then imposed over an actor with Dal'i’s body proportions, and quotes from his interviews and letters were synced with a voice actor who could mimic his unique accent, a mix of French, Spanish, and English.”

“With 45 minutes of newly created footage and thousands of combinations, each visitor gets a different experience. There are scenes that open with him reading the newspaper, with an overlay of the current front page of The New York Times; if it’s raining, he’ll comment on the weather”
