Picasso 2033

Set in a future where AI has gradually replaced human beings in the field of art, Picasso 2033 reflects on the future of art through the story of AI-drawing-trainer “Mr Satisfaction”. Returning to the house where he once lived with his mother, his memories are awakened by seeing her unfinished painting, created in her later years, when she was suffering from Alzheimer’s. His exploration of the protagonist in the painting leads to a deep reflection on the nature of art and AI, and on where the identity and creativity of human beings is headed.
