ENVISION AI

Art Installation and Mobile App Proposal (Concept)

Leaving an art gallery or art installation with a new perspective or a lasting impression is what I see as successful art. Music artists have the power to save people’s lives, Directors can create a movie that takes you to an entirely new universe, essentially any form of artistic media has the power to influence and inspire us. What determines how powerful an artist is, is their artistic vision, and how well they are able to express this vision through a medium. An artist's vision can range from a variety of things, they could be creating art for a movement, portraying their emotions, trying to evoke certain feelings, telling a story, and for unlimited different reasons. For me, the biggest takeaway when experiencing a work of art is: how does this leave an impression on the audience? As an artist, the biggest achievement for me would be to create art that leaves a lifelong impression, art that inspires and could change someone's life. When focusing on this concept, an array of inspirations came to mind. During the course of learning about the different forms of computing and the arts, I was most intrigued by projects that were manipulated or interacted with by the viewer. This concept inspired me to create "EnvisionAI – Artificial Intelligence that turns your dreams into reality." This project merges art and technology to revolutionize how we visualize and pursue our goals.

Many people grow up with dreams and set goals for themselves, but every-day distractions and outside responsibilities can get in the way. Envision AI is an interactive project where the audience inputs a dream or a goal that they have always wanted - like losing 50 pounds, running a marathon, starting a company, winning a competition, being an actor, or any sort of attainable goal within this lifetime. Envision AI then scans the user and uses image generating software like DALL-E 3 or Midjourney to create a personalized visualization of what the user would look like at their end goal. In addition to this, EnvisionAI would give the user a personalized journey map on how to achieve their goal, and would break the journey into smaller, measurable steps with deadlines. The main goal of this project is to change peoples lives for the better. An app like EnvisionAI could help people live the lives that they truly want. Successful art leaves a prominent impression on the audience, Envision AI would leave a positive life long impression for its users.  

This concept isn’t just a motivational app; it’s an immersive art installation. Participants enter a space with five large screens and lines leading to each station. When at the front of the line, users are prompted to share their goal—like “learning to play the guitar.” Envision AI then scans them and generates a personalized image or video of themselves confidently playing the guitar. This visual serves as inspiration, especially for the 65% of people who are visual learners. The screen would then showcase the user journey map on how to achieve this goal. After the user sees themselves living their dreams and the steps to achieve this dream, the user receives a QR code linking them to the EnvisionAI app, transforming the installation experience into a personal, interactive tool for daily use. Once the app is opened, the user is presented with the journey map on how to make their dream come true. This Journey map would be divided into modules where each section is a different step in achieving your dream. These small divided up steps would be beneficial for the user not to get overwhelmed with learning and would have deadlines to keep the user on track. For this instance, the modules are catered toward learning the guitar. It’s divided up into separate sections like: choosing the right guitar, learning basic chord shapes and strumming, practicing, music theory, and more. After the completion of different sections of the module, users receive milestone rewards and motivational affirmations as they progress. The app adapts to their lifestyle—accounting for work schedules, financial limitations, physical abilities, location, and social dynamics—to ensure the plan is realistic and achievable. Envision AI blends cutting-edge technology with the emotional resonance of art. It doesn’t just visualize dreams; it empowers users to achieve them, leaving a lifelong impression. By integrating AI into the realm of art, Envision AI creates a transformative experience, proving that art, at its best, not only inspires but also changes lives. 

Art has the power to inspire, spark change, and leave an impression on the audience. Throughout my journey of creating the concept of Envision AI, I wanted to emphasize the connection between art and the audience. Interaction has always been a part of art that has fascinated me the most. It doesn’t limit the audience to being a viewer, but it immerses them in your creation and lets the audience fully experience a new world that you have created. Inspired by interactive installations like Karl Sims’ The Galapagos and Christa Sommerer and Laurent’s A-Volve, I envisioned a project where art not only responds to its audience but evolves them, offering a mirror to their dreams and a path to achieving them. Envision AI is a project that redefines how art can change us. By being a transformative piece of art that you carry with you after leaving the art gallery, Envision AI is artwork that lasts forever. Envision AI would be created to enhance the lives of everyone, not only representing itself as art, but as a tool to progress the well-being of people around the world. Everybody has a dream, and Envision AI is what would help people achieve this dream. Overall, Envision AI is a reflection of the future I aspire to create, where art doesn’t just move us but moves us forward.
