Touch of Hands
Award-Winning AI Multimedia Artwork
'Touch of Hands' has been given 2022 AiME Award for Best AI Soundtrack on Knownorigin.io. AI-generated lyrics, vocals, and imagery are composed with the soundtrack for the final piece.
- Sound Design: Mehmet Yaranona
Project Overview
"Touch of Hands" represents a comprehensive exploration of AI's creative capabilities across multiple artistic domains. This multimedia artwork uniquely combines:
- AI-generated lyrical content
- Synthesized vocal performances
- AI-generated visual imagery
- Professional sound design by Mehmet Yaranona
The result is a cohesive artistic experience where every element—from the words being sung to the visuals being displayed—has been created through or in collaboration with artificial intelligence systems.
Award Recognition
The project received the prestigious 2022 AiME Award for Best AI Soundtrack on KnownOrigin.io, recognizing its innovative approach to AI-generated audio content. This award highlights the project's unique position at the intersection of music, visual art, and artificial intelligence.
Technical Approach
"Touch of Hands" employed multiple AI systems working in concert:
- Text generation models for creating the lyrical content
- Voice synthesis technology for vocal performance
- Image generation systems for the visual component
- Professional audio production to enhance and finalize the soundtrack
The challenge lay in creating harmony between these diverse AI outputs—ensuring that the generated lyrics matched the emotional tone of the music, that the synthesized voice delivered the lyrics convincingly, and that the visuals complemented the audio experience.
Blockchain and Virtual Presence
This piece exists as a digital collectible and has been exhibited in virtual spaces:
- Available @KnownOrigin.io as an NFT
- Visible on @Voxels metaverse platform
The Future of AI Art
"Touch of Hands" exemplifies a holistic approach to AI art creation, where artificial intelligence is not just used for a single aspect of the creative process but is integrated throughout. This multi-modal approach points toward future possibilities where AI systems collaborate across artistic disciplines to create integrated works that wouldn't be possible through traditional means.
The project also demonstrates how human expertise—in this case, professional sound design—can enhance and elevate AI-generated content, suggesting that the most compelling AI art may emerge from human-AI collaboration rather than from AI systems in isolation.
