With the stir that AI is causing in the technological landscape, it was clear that it would end up permeating our most common actions, such as taking a selfie. Do you want to pose like a Roman gladiator, as if you had attended the mythical Woodstock concert or looking straight out of Japanese art? Art Selfie 2 is now available in the Google Arts & Culture app.
Back in 2018, Google came up with the genius of an application that He compared our portraits with important paintings from History. It was called Art Selfie and it was enough to take a photo with your mobile phone for the application to search among all the museums and art galleries in search of the painting that best fit the image. Now, Google has decided to revive the app with a second part loaded with generative AI.

Once the selfie is taken, the application allows you to choose the aspect to recreate so that Google’s AI is in charge of generating the image based on the captured selfie.
