Info

This project explores how we might visually distinguish AI-generated images from human-made art in response to issues like fake news, deepfakes, and copyright concerns.

I designed two symbols to represent each type of content in a speculative future where such distinction is required.

Symbol Design

The AI symbol uses robotic visuals to reflect artificial creation. The human symbol combines a lightbulb and a pencil to represent creativity.

Motion Interpretation

After defining the symbol visual system, I've experimented with motion implementation using After Effects, Blender, and Spline.

The After Effects version focused more on the animation of each symbol's characteristics in a 2D working space, while with Blender I've tried motion along the Z-axis. I expanded this project with an interactive web experience using Spline as well.
