Absen, a leading LED display producer, will collaborate with world-renowned media artist and director, Refik Anadol, during ISE on Booth 3N400. The digital art installation ‘California Landscapes’ will showcase an experimentation of the Stable Diffusion model, which represents one of the most advanced technologies in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) for image generation.
Refik Anadol is known as a trailblazer in the realm of data aesthetics and machine intelligence. He co-founded Refik Anadol Studio in Los Angeles and is a faculty member at UCLA’s Department of Design Media Arts. Anadol’s work explores the synergy between human creativity and machine intelligence. By using data as his primary material and collaborating with the neural networks of computerised minds, Anadol creates groundbreaking visualisations of digital memories, pushing the boundaries of interdisciplinary arts.
‘California Landscapes’, which will be shown on Absen’s booth at ISE 2025, uses adaptive discriminator augmentation to generate synthetic images, from which the creative visualisation captured ‘hallucinations’ of the stunning landscapes of California in a multi-dimensional space.
To create these hallucinations, Anadol and his team gathered data from digital archives and publicly accessible sources and processed them using machine-learning classification models.
Once the image selection was complete, the AI, when left inactive and unsupervised, created abstract landscapes, generating new aesthetic visuals, colour combinations, and unique lines formed by algorithmic connections.
The AI Data Painting will be displayed on Absen’s largest MicroLED offering on show at ISE. At 16.3m pixels, 4200 x 6075mm, Absen’s MicroLED wall is equipped with multiple Absen image optimisation technologies. The series also boasts advanced image optimisation technologies, including a 4x contrast boost and a 50 percent lower failure rate, as well as non-glare, non-reflective technology.
Ruben Rengel, executive vice president at Absen, explained: “We are delighted to showcase Refik Anadol’s groundbreaking work at ISE 2025. This collaboration exemplifies the innovative potential of Absen’s LED display technology, transforming Refik’s visionary art into a fully immersive experience that pushes the boundaries of creativity and technology. We are eager to captivate visitors at our booth with this extraordinary feature and inspire them with what’s possible when art and cutting-edge technology come together.”
