VANDAL ▼ unveils world-first AI art for Lendlease, Darling Quarter North.

Titled ‘Natural Rhythms of Australia’, AI ATELIER by VANDAL ▼ has unveiled a world-first, feature-length, generative AI digital art exhibition and digital placemaking project for Lendlease, Darling Quarter North.

‘Natural Rhythms of Australia’ was created over the course of a year and utilises a bespoke set of artificial intelligence tools developed exclusively by VANDAL ▼. The result is a world-first in smooth, ultra-high resolution motion digital art, created using generative artificial intelligence.

“The AI anomaly perfected by VANDAL is the ability to produce AI animation void of flickering, resulting in super smooth temporal coherence.” says Chris Scott, Creative Director.

“Featuring over 130 minutes of generative motion AI art, it tells the story of Australia’s flora, fauna and climate across changing seasons.” adds Executive Producer, Tracey Taylor.

The 12 month-long AI art exhibition is a captivating ecological journey through natural and environmental events in Australia.

From subtle transformations in the air and soil, specific plant flowerings and fruiting to noticeable quirks in animal behaviour, the art shows that our seasons are not constrained by calendar months and years, but by a cyclical rhythm that sustains and replenishes itself; a rhythm honed over the billions of years that our planet, and the life on it, has existed.

‘Natural Rhythms of Australia’ was commissioned for the redevelopment of Darling Quarter North and is presented on a state-of-the-art, 47 sqm ultra high-definition LED array, visible from multiple viewpoints around the precinct.

VANDAL Animation AI Lead, Joseph Pole Explains: “AI algorithms, responsible for the generation of the art itself, work from a huge set of unique and custom-trained imagery.”

“Our process of machine learning involved training our AI model with thousands of bespoke, curated images. Our AI engine then processes this dataset to identify patterns and significant features. The ‘knowledge’ gained from ‘studying’ these images gives VANDAL ultimate control and precision in achieving our desired artistic results.”

VANDAL ▼’s AI ATELIER’ is born out of our passion for creativity, art and technology.

As this mind-bending technology changes and evolves, VANDAL ▼ is relishing the challenge of harnessing AI as a production tool and partner in our creative arsenal.

‘Natural Rhythms’ is currently on display at Darling Quarter North and will run for the next 12 months.
