A museum in Florida is planning to recreate Salvador Dali’s iconic Lobster Telephone using artificial intelligence (AI) for an upcoming exhibit in 2024. The Dali Museum in St. Petersburg will use AI technology to generate a 3D-printed replica of the surrealist artist’s famous sculpture, which features a lobster serving as the receiver for a telephone. The original Lobster Telephone, created in 1936, is part of the museum’s permanent collection but is too fragile to be displayed. By leveraging AI, the museum aims to provide visitors with an immersive experience, allowing them to interact with a faithful recreation of Dali’s imaginative work. The AI-generated replica will be a highlight of the museum’s ‘Dali/AI: Rendering the Invisible’ exhibit, exploring the intersection of art and artificial intelligence. The exhibit will also feature other AI-generated interpretations of Dali’s works, offering a unique perspective on the artist’s surreal visions.
