Google Plants Lyria And Gemini Inside London's Southbank Centre
Four AI-built installations open September 11 to 13, curated by the festival's own PACT team for the venue's 75th anniversary.
- Yinka Ilori's 'Dreaming with Flamingos' runs West African folklore through DeepMind's Lyria music engine.
- David Li's 'Splash Canvas' lets Gemini-driven sea creatures critique visitors' paintings in real time.
- The weekend marks Southbank Centre's 75th anniversary, staged in the Royal Festival Hall's Clore Ballroom.
Why it matters: A public institution's anniversary now runs on one company's software: the vocabulary of imagination is licensed, not shared.
