What we built
Da Vinci's AI Atelier is the heart of it: a space where art and AI merge and visitors step straight into Leonardo’s creative world. Projections answer your touch. New works appear under your hands. The show is interactive throughout: not observed, entered. It premiered in Berlin in 2022 and has since travelled to Amsterdam, Mumbai, Florida, Delhi and Tallinn, is currently in Riga, with Bangalore opening soon.
The challenge
Make a 15th-century genius feel present, not explained, and build the whole thing to travel: modular, scalable, and localized, so every city gets a complete experience rather than a scaled-down copy.
“Everyone expects the AI part to feel cold. What surprises them is how human it feels once they’re standing in it.”
