ABOUT THE PROJECT

WHAT DOES "FINE PRINT" MEAN?

THE "FINE PRINT" TECHNIQUE IS THE MOST VALUABLE.

MUST BE MADE BY CERTIFIED AND OFFICIALLY AUTHORIZED PRINTERS WHO RELEASE THE SERIAL NUMBER AND CERTIFICATION TOGETHER WITH EACH PRINT.

THE DURABILITY OVER TIME OF THE COLOURS, MATERIALS AND PAPER EXCEEDS 100 YEARS IF KEPT IN MUSEUM CONDITIONS.

THE RESEARCH DURATED A LONG TIME AND IT REQUIRED TRIALS, TESTS, MEETINGS, EXCHANGE OF IDEAS TO ARRIVE A RESULT THAT WAS IN LINE WITH MY EXPECTATIONS

WHAT IS THE "FINE PRINTS" PROJECT?

Teo KayKay's new works created with Artificial Intelligence in flight to and from New York, completed on Ipad and subsequently printed on 100% cotton paper with technique >Fine Print (100-year durability in museum conditions)

HOW WERE THE WORKS CREATED?

FIRST OF ALL, I IMAGINED IN MY HEAD WHAT I WANTED TO REPRESENT IN THE DRAWING.

THEN I USED THE WIFI ONBOARD THE PLANE AND AN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SOFTWARE TO MATERIALIZE THE MY THOUGHTS.

EACH WORK IS COMPOSED OF MANY GENERATED "PIECES" (WORKS) (JUST THE FIRST GENERATION IS NOT ENOUGH). SOMETIMES 20 GENERATIONS OF ELEMENTS FOR A SINGLE WORK ARE REQUIRED.

LATER I COMPLETED THEM BY HAND DRAWING ON THE IPAD WITH A GRAPHIC PEN.

I ADDED THE FLIGHT COORDINATES WHERE THE GENERATION STARTED TO GUARANTEE THE “TIMESTAMP”

WHY WORKS A.I. PRINT FINE PRINT ?

I STRONGLY SUPPORT ANY INNOVATION IN ART THAT ENABLES AN ARTIST NOT TO "ALWAYS DO THE SAME THING"

I DID SOMETHING DIFFERENT , EVOLVED AND THAT CAN BECOME PART OF YOUR COLLECTIONS AT HOME, IN THE OFFICE OR THAT CAN BE GIFTED.

TO MAKE IT EVEN MORE SPECIAL I CREATED THESE WORKS ON AN AIRPLANE!

IN ORDER NOT TO LEAVE A.I. DIGITAL ONLY I ALSO WENT TO LOOK FOR THE MOST FINE PRINTING TECHNIQUE AND PERFECT QUALITY IN THE WORLD: FINE PRINT (ALSO CALLED GICLÉE)

WHY THE LOGO WITH A STEAM TRAIN?

I WANT SOMETHING THAT REMINDED THE VINTAGE FLAVOR SOMETHING SOLID BUT HAND-BUILT (LIKE A STEAM TRAIN) TO HIGHLIGHT THE CRAFTSMANSHIP OF THE MATERIALS I HAVE CHOSEN AND THE PRINTING TECHNIQUES THEN COMBINING TRADITION, HISTORY AND INNOVATION.

I CREATED IT BY COMBINING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND FREEHAND DRAWINGS

HOW MANY COPIES OF EACH PRINT ARE THERE?

Each print is produced exclusively in 10 copies to ensure the exclusivity of the collection

IF I COMPLETE THE WHOLE COLLECTION WHAT HAPPENS?

IF YOU COLLECT ALL 8 FINE PRINTS OF THE "FROM THE AIRPLANE" PROJECT, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO REQUEST THE MASTER PRINT, A "MYSTERY" FINE PRINT MADE ONLY FOR THOSE WHO COMPLETE THE WHOLE COLLECTION (VALID ONLY FOR THE FIRST COMPLETION).

THE DETAILS OF THE FINE PRINTS

WHAT SIZE ARE THE FINE PRINTS?

THE SIZE OF EACH FINE PRINT IS 30X30 cm (SQUARE FORMAT) + 5mm OF WHITE PASSEPARTOUT

I CHOSEN THIS FORMAT BECAUSE IT IS THE BASIC FORMAT OF WORKS CREATED WITH INTELLIGENCE ARTIFICIAL AND BECAUSE IT EASILY ADAPTS TO ALL ENVIRONMENTS

ARE FINE PRINTS LIMITED?

YES, THE QUANTITIES ARE LIMITED TO 10 PIECES MAXIMUM FOR EACH PRINT TO ENSURE THE EXCLUSIVITY OF THE PROJECT. ONCE SOLD OUT THEY WILL NOT BE PRINTED ANYMORE.

WHAT DO FINE PRINTS SUBJECTS MEAN?

EACH CREATION HAS ITS MEANING DESCRIBED IN THE INDIVIDUAL PRODUCT FACTSHEETS.

I VISUALLY REPRESENT WHAT IS PART OF MY WORLD, THAT I LIKE, THAT FASCINATES ME, THAT I WANT TO COMMUNICATE, THAT INSPIRE ME OR REMIND ME.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "COMPLETED BY FREE HAND"?

THE BASIC WORKS ARE GENERATED WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SOFTWARE, BUT THEN I DECIDED TO ADD MY MANUAL TOUCH BY MODIFYING THE IMAGE AND ADDING DETAILS, SHADING, LIGHTING AND FREEHAND DRAWN ELEMENTS TO MAKE THE WORK EVEN MORE EXCLUSIVE

WHY ARE THERE GEOGRAPHICAL COORDINATES?

I LIKE THE IDEA THAT YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE WORKS WERE GENERATED AND IN WHICH PRECISE POINT OF THE FLIGHT. THIS WAY IT IS POSSIBLE TO ENTER EVEN MORE DETAILS OF THE PROJECT

THE SECRET MAP

HOW DOES THE SECRET MAP WORK?

INSIDE THE PACKAGING THERE IS A MAP. RED DOTS ARE REPRESENTED ON THE MAP WHICH ARE THE MOMENTS OF FLIGHT WHERE THE WORKS WERE GENERATED. BY ENTERING THE COORDINATES PRESENT ON EACH PRINT, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT IS THE CORRESPONDING MOMENT BETWEEN THE LAND AND THE ATLANTIC OCEAN

IS THE MAP REAL? DOES THE TREASURE EXIST?

NO, THE MAP IS GENERATED WITH MY IMAGINATION AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. ITEMS SUCH AS SEA MONSTERS, TREASURES AND SHIPS TAKE INSPIRING FROM HISTORICAL FACTS OR LEGENDS

THE PACKAGING

WHAT DOES THE PACKAGE CONTAIN?

INSIDE THE PACKAGE YOU WILL FIND:
FINE PRINTS 35X35cm, PERSONALIZED TISSUE, HOLOGRAPHIC SEAL, CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY, SECRET MAP, INSTRUCTIONS FOR BACKSTAGE INFORMATION
