this is the tinpot jazz orchestra. it lasts less than a minute, but it is a charming, glitchy, cartoon like production created using generative ai video tools. now, this means that the characters weren t designed by illustrators and animators. instead, they were described in english to an ai, which then created them itself. the film was made by william bartlett, who s a creative director from visual effects house framestore, and who, like a lot of generative ai creators at the moment, put it together in his spare time. it started off life as a test. and i wanted to do a test that was more elaborate than just a couple of shots. i wanted to try and string together something which had a bit of narrative to try and drive the kind of ambition of the shots. will actually had to use different generative ai tools for different parts of the process. first, he asked midjourney to come up with some still images of the kind of characters that he wanted. and so i might describe a so ....
this week, we re revisiting the tech that we ve seen used in and around the world of art. and the first question i have is, what is lara thinking right now? do i like it? does it make me feel happy, sad? ammie s gone to town to test the newest, oldest cameras we ve seen for a while. paul heads to florence to see how tech is revealing a 17th century artwork. and we re on the stage helping musicians get used to what it feels like to get a standing ovation, or a slow clap. how did it do that? the v&a london, home to 145 galleries of works from across the globe, spanning 5,000 years of art. museums like this are always looking at new ways to engage audiences. one idea here to see how our brains react to what we re seeing. we often talk about how art makes us feel or what it gets us thinking about. well, today it s time for a way of quantifying that. so we re just going to put this on your head here. 0k. just goes behind your ears. this muse headset, which would more commo ....

Things seem to have got a little bit more excitable at this point. what does that mean? yeah, these golden highlights that are coming in are something that we ve put into the system, and they re triggered by recognition, when you see something that you recognise. 0h, that ll be the point that i saw the ladies for the first time that looked like a blur initially. exactly. and then some other things are happening, like we ve isolated the beta range in your brainwave spectrum, and that s what s making the ribbons get fatter. and then we ve got two. and what does that mean? it probably means you re concentrating. it s sort of, the beta range in your, in the brainwave spectrum is conscious thought. what have you learned so far from people using this? the biggest variation is from one person to another. huge differences between the way one person takes in a piece of art and another, particularly people, neurodiverse people. people with things like adhd have a very different reaction to art. ....
