AI Awards 2024
generative artwork, print on plexiglass, 2024
For the 2024 edition of the Czech AI Awards, I was commissioned to design six unique physical trophies, each capturing the essence of human–AI co-creation. I led the full creative and production process — from conceptual direction through AI-assisted visual design and material specifications.
Using a blend of Midjourney, OpenArt, and Photoshop’s Generative Fill, I crafted illusionistic image compositions simulating embossed, 3D structures. These visuals were printed on the bottom layer of thick plexiglass blocks, creating the effect of depth and dimensionality, as if the imagery were suspended inside resin. Real shadows were then cast by foil-cut typography placed on the top layer — a juxtaposition that played with perception, authenticity, and the layered nature of creative authorship.
Each award was visually tailored to reflect the spirit of its domain, and short animations generated with Luma Labs’ Dream Machine extended the visuals into motion, revealing each award live on stage during the ceremony.
The project became both a celebration of excellence and an experiment in how generative media can shape symbolic objects of recognition in a hybrid creative era.
