The exhibition melds the man-made with the machine-made, and combines art, sport and technology in an innovative fashion.<\/p>\n<p>It features the work of 32 emerging and established artists, each tasked with creating a piece representing their country and using their respective team&#8217;s jersey colors. After each match, the AI-powered algorithm combines the artists&#8217; creations with match statistics to generate unique pieces that represent each game. The collection will be a unique set of pieces presented as NFTs \u2013 non-fungible tokens. These cryptographic assets are based on blockchain technology, and created in a process similar to cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<p><i>From Strike to Stroke<\/i> includes artists who have never created NFTs and NFT artists who had not worked within traditional fine art.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The passion shared by football fans for the love of the beautiful game can be tangential to the passion shared by art aesthetes,&#8221; said Dr. Shurooq Amin in her curator&#8217;s brief to the exhibition. &#8220;By connecting 32 artists from both the traditional and digital arenas, Ithra not only bridges the gap between Web2 to Web3, and between football and art, but furthermore between human and machine, as the artists collaborate with AI generation technology to create unique NFTs that combine art, football and technology.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/corplogin-my.sharepoint.com\/personal\/shareena_ali_corplogin_com\/Documents\/Desktop\/www.striketostroke.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">www.striketostroke.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Images and exhibition catalogue can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1i8GnTUogQMaqE5L4b_BqmwsFjuXTancc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on Ithra and its programs, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ithra.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">www.ithra.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211;&nbsp; The King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture&#8217;s From Strike to Stroke exhibit features 64 FIFA World Cup match results in a unique man-machine collaboration DHAHRAN, Saudi&nbsp;Arabia, Dec. 6, 2022 \/PRNewswire\/ &#8212; The King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture (Ithra) celebrates the art of the beautiful game in a unique exhibition at the 2022 FIFA [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":14143,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14142","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
