Art generated by artificial intelligence, real prison sentences

This project aims to raise awareness of Cuban political prisoners by combining art, technology, and human rights under the motto “Art generated by artificial intelligence, real prison sentences”.

Prisoners sentenced to up to 3 years are depicted in pop art style; those with up to 6 years in surrealism; up to 9 years in cubism; up to 12 in romanticism; up to 15 in baroque; and more than 16 years in the Renaissance style.

The depictions of each prisoner are available in four formats, tailored for different social media styles and also for inclusion in email signatures. If you wish to share these images with your community, feel free to do so.
