This innovative collection showcases Palazzo's pioneering use of AI to expand upon his original photographs of New York City. These photographs are not simply altered versions of his original New York City captures; they are an enchanting fusion of reality and imagination, inviting viewers to explore a parallel universe version of the city—a realm where the familiar transforms into something truly fantastical and captivating.

"This is Not New York" invites viewers to step into a world where the familiar becomes extraordinary. Palazzo's photography marries AI-generated images transforming iconic cityscapes into vibrant, dreamlike landscapes, blurring the lines between the tangible and the imagined. The exhibition is a testament to the power of technology to enhance and expand artistic vision, offering a fresh perspective on the urban environment.

"By collaborating with AI, I've been able to explore new dimensions of my creativity and push the boundaries of traditional photography," says Palazzo. "These AI-generated images are an extension of my own artistic vision, a journey into the uncharted territories of the imagination."

The exhibition promises to be a feast for the senses, with a kaleidoscope of colors, textures, and perspectives. Visitors will be captivated by the surreal beauty of Palazzo's creations, which challenge our perceptions of reality and invite us to reimagine the world around us.

What AI dreams beyond the frame of my pictures?

by Michele Palazzo  /  May  2024

In this series, I have embarked on an exploratory journey, redefining the essence of what photography can be. This exploration begins with some pictures I took in New York and allows AI the space to imagine what lies beyond the frame of my original photo. 

This collection blurs the line between the tangible and the imagined in a process that transcends mere image production, venturing into a realm where the organic and the synthetic converge, and the known melds with the fantastical. The AI serves as an augmentation of my artistic vision, amplifying my creative potential and propelling me into unexplored territories. It enables me to create images that challenge the viewer's expectations.

"This is not New York" offers a glimpse into the future of artistic and photographic innovation, a tribute to the new frontiers accessible through the synergy of technology and human creativity.
