AESA Lecture Series: AI and AR in Film
2022-12-01 20:00 - 21:00 UTC
We would like to invite you to attend our lecture this Thursday, December 1st, 2022 with Jivan Avetisyan who is a celebrated Armenian film director. Avetisyan’s most recent project Revival is the story of a woman’s secret which forces three different destinies to come together in search of their true identity and origin. Actions unfold during the Artsakh war in 2020 in Europe and Armenia/Artsakh.
One of the leading characters is ORCHID (ORganizer of CHaotic Input Data), which is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system designed, trained, and continuously improved by Murat (the main character) throughout the film. ORCHID has a huge role in the story narrative and even the structure of the film is based on the evolution and development of its character. The ORCHID system’s evolution in the film is also captured via its manifestations and visualization capabilities through Augmented Reality (AR).
Join us as we discuss how he integrated AI into his movie and what technological advances are in store for Armenia and film.
