Artificial Intelligence

AI activations for events and exhibitions. Guests turn a selfie into a personal artwork, see it in a live gallery and take it home on their phone.

AI activations for events and exhibitions

Generative AI can turn a selfie and a few choices into something personal within seconds. At an event, that is a strong reason to stop at a stand. Visitors create something of their own, watch it appear on the big screen and take it home on their phone.

We design and build these experiences from start to finish. Our software combines several AI models, runs on iPads or kiosks, and is styled to your brand and campaign. We are based in Dubai and have delivered AI activations in the UAE and abroad.

AI Art Creator and Gallery

Our best-known AI experience turns every guest into an artist. It works in three steps:

Choose. On an iPad, guests pick what they like, for example colours, a destination and an art style.
Snap. They take a selfie, and the AI turns it into a unique artwork in the chosen style, from pop art to modern cityscapes.
Share. The artwork joins a live gallery on large screens, and guests download it to their phone as a keepsake.

Because several AI models work together, no two artworks look alike, and the gallery keeps changing for as long as the event runs.

Made for your brand

Every activation is set up for the client and the occasion. We tailor:

The look: screens, colours and typography in your brand's design.
The art: styles and themes that fit your campaign, such as your destinations, products or city.
The branding: your logo or a watermark on every artwork that guests take away.
The questions: what guests are asked before they start, from preferences to their contact details.
The display: large screens, digital picture frames or an LED wall, laid out for your stand or venue.

Custom AI applications

AI is also a practical tool. For a Nissan dealer conference, we built Smart Studio, an iPad app that photographs a car, removes the background with AI and places the car in a new setting. Dealers get advertising photos without a photo studio or a designer.

Tablet with the Smart Studio app: a red car placed on a desert road backdrop, a finger tapping Choose backdrop — Nissan Smart Studio: the car is cut out of the photo by AI and placed on a new backdrop

If you have an idea that needs image generation, image recognition or language, we can build the application around it.

Where AI works well

Exhibition stands and trade shows: a personal artwork gives visitors a reason to stop, and a reason to stay while it is being created.
VIP areas and hospitality: every guest leaves with something made for them, in your brand's look.
Conferences, summits and gala evenings: the gallery fills up with the guests themselves and becomes the talking point of the event.

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of AI activations work at an event?

Experiences in which guests create something personal work best. In our AI Art Creator, a selfie and a few choices become a unique artwork that appears in a live gallery and goes home on the guest's phone.

Do you build AI applications other than the art gallery?

Yes. We build custom applications around image generation, image recognition and language. One example is Smart Studio for Nissan, an iPad app that photographs a car, removes the background with AI and places the car in a new setting.

How early should we get in touch?

That depends on the project. For many formats we do not start from scratch. We build on a proven framework and adapt it to your design and content, which saves time. A completely new development needs longer for design, development and testing. Contact us as early as you can, and we will tell you what is realistic for your date.
