AI artwork by Professor Steve DiPaola on display in Lamborghini Museum's permanent collection

January 15, 2025
"Transformations," by Steve DiPaola. This still image is the third of six in the series and depicts a Lamborghini in the process of transforming into mountains.

School of Interactive Arts & Technology professor and AI artist Steve DiPaola was recently commissioned by supercar company Lamborghini to produce artwork for their 60th anniversary celebrations.

As part of the celebrations, DiPaolas art installation Transformations toured many venues throughout Canada where Lamborghini also unveiled their first hybrid car.

Following the 60th anniversary celebrations, a still version of the artwork, made up of a set of six digital paintings printed on aluminum, was sent to the Lamborghini Museum located in Bologna, Italy for inclusion in the museum's permanent collection.

In the artwork, the abstract form of a car gradually transforms into mountainsthe Canadian Rockies and the Italian Alps. The interactive version of Transformation allows guests to use hand gestures to move through the neo-cubist-inspired work.

DiPaola, who often depicts nature in his works, drew upon the notion of movement in creating this artwork and explored the idea of cars as an avenue through which individuals can access and get into nature.
