To mark the 100th anniversary of the Deutsches Museum in Munich, WE ARE VIDEO contributed an extraordinary creation: the specially developed AI PHOTOBOX. It allowed visitors to immerse themselves in the world of the 1920s, impressively combining history, technology and emotion.

With the help of artificial intelligence, authentic portraits were created in the style of that era – with suits, waistcoats, hats or dresses, without any accessories or green screens. In just a few seconds, the AI generated realistic images with a historical look. There were four different background scenes to choose from, inspired by the iconic locations and atmospheres of the Deutsches Museum around 1925.

Whether on a hill with the museum’s façade in the background, in a workshop, in a studio or in front of the Munich skyline, each motif became an individual memento bearing the Deutsches Museum logo. Visitors could print out their photos on site or take them home digitally via email – perfect for social media and as a personal souvenir.

In addition to the different scenes, the AI PHOTOBOX also offered various styles: from photorealistic portraits to drawn versions to a graphic linocut look. Groups and families could have their picture taken together – the AI recognised multiple people accurately and staged them harmoniously.

The result was an interactive, emotional and educational experience that combined tradition and innovation. The past came to life – through the creative power of artificial intelligence.

With this project, WE ARE VIDEO demonstrated how AI-based photo solutions not only provide entertainment, but also tell stories, emotionally charge brands and actively engage visitors. The AI PHOTOBOX proved that the future and the past can come together perfectly – in an image that lasts.
