Paintings that come to life. The girl with the pearl earring (Vermeer) who starts laughing, Napoleon who runs on his white horse or the Forum Square that comes to life in Van Gogh’s painting. No, it is not a new work of the Night at the museumbut with a simple video published on social networks.
In the brief production of one minute. shared onThis Sunday, November 24, we will be able to see a dozen works, such as Cafe terrace at night (Van Gogh), the Desperate (Courbet) the man on the balcony (Caillebotte) or Bonaparte crossing the Great Saint Bernard (Jacques-Louis David) come to life.
Dream Machine, Sora’s competitor?
The video, viewed 21,000 times, was made using Dream Machine, an artificial intelligence (AI) created by the Californian company Luma Labs. This tool, capable of generating ultra-realistic videos from a “prompt”, that is, a written instruction, is quite similar to sorathe video generator designed by OpenAI.
Accessible for free to everyone, this AI is capable of “producing realistic and fantastic high-quality videos from textual instructions and images,” the company indicated at its launch last June in a blog post. She was trained on videos to “generate physically accurate, coherent and action-packed scenes.”
Despite its capabilities, Dream Machine is still far from perfect. The tool has some limitations. If most of the animated characters in the paintings are quite realistic and perform natural movements, the animation of the woman with the umbrella by Claude Monet is quite blurry and the movements of the gardeners of Caillebotte are unequal.
This is not the first time that AI has been talked about on social networks. Last July, Kling AI, a tool developed by Kuaiying, a Chinese company specialized in video, managed to animate photographs of stars with their younger doubles.
