Named The Impossible Statue, the work is a collaboration between a consultancy called The A.I. Framework and the engineering firm to showcase the latter's computer-programmed manufacturing prowess. The five-foot stainless steel statue depicts an androgynous figure wrapped in a sheet of metal holding a globe.
Its creators used AI models to pick out key attributes from the work of five great sculptors: Michelangelo's asymmetrical 'contrapposto', Rodin's musculature, Käthe Kollwitz's expressionism, Takamura Kotaro's ability to capture movement and Augusta Savage’s defiance. They generated images over and over using three AI image generators – Stable Diffusion,After that, they converted the 2D image into a 3D model using depth-estimator software and human pose estimation.
