"In Synthesis: Electro-Futuristic Portraits"
Step into the realm of "In Synthesis," a mesmerizing exhibit that blurs the boundaries of time, art, and technology. In this new series of portraits, the artist, Christopher Ursitti, an AI innovator, also known as the "Re-Photographer," has used cutting-edge AI technology to create digital art that is both nostalgic and futuristic.
The exhibit showcases a collection of portraits that are derived from scans of authentic Victorian era Daguerreotypes, Ambrotypes and Tintypes which are then artfully montaged utilizing original intricate fractals and further developed by processing through AI and finally fine tuned in photo editing softwares . The result is a stunning visual synthesis of the past and the future, where vintage aesthetics merge with futuristic elements, creating a mesmerizing and otherworldly experience for the viewers.
