This monumental artwork isn’t just a visual feast; it’s an immersive celebration of the people who weave Reno’s cultural fabric. Carefully designed to be segmented into individual 12-inch squares, each piece becomes a unique fragment of the larger mosaic.  With every square sold, a personal touch is added. Whether it’s a photograph representing the buyer or a photo of an object symbolizing them, each purchase becomes a tribute to the individuals shaping Reno’s community.

While AI art generators can produce many variations of an image, they still need human artists to provide input and imbue the final artwork with meaning and emotion. The experiment emphasizes the importance of understanding art’s intricacies, and using those observations to guide the AI algorithms. The relationship between technology and art is constantly changing and requires an appreciation of the possibilities..
