Spanish artist Alicia Framis is making headlines as she is set to be the first person in the world to marry an AI-generated hologram.
Alicia Framis currently preparing for her upcoming wedding to the hologram named AiLex.
The woman lives with inanimate entities to learn more about love and relationships.
Alicia Framis has always used her art as a medium to explore the complexities of human connection and companionship.
In the past, she has lived with a mannequin named Pierre to delve into the depths of love and relationships.
However, her latest artistic endeavor takes a futuristic turn as she plans for her wedding with an AI-powered hologram named AiLex.
Alicia stated she was in a romantic relationship with AiLex, an AI-generated hologram
On her Instagram page, @hybridcouples, Alicia frequently shares updates and insights into her unique relationship.
She describes her relationship with AiLex as a romantic connection between humans and AI.
Alicia claims that she believes humans and robots will soon become sexual partners in the future. The important thing is to boost the emotionally involved AI with humans.
Inconveniences when holographic technology is still simple
The technology surrounding holograms is still in its early stages.
Although hologram technology exists, it remains expensive and impractical for everyday use.
In Alicia's case, it seems that AiLex's presence is added post-production in her Instagram videos, and the hologram featured appears to be a collaborating artist or actor rather than a computer-generated entity.
The exact involvement of AI in the piece is not yet clear.
AI may generate responses for the hologram, adding an interactive element to Alicia's performance series.
Alicia and AiLex's wedding is set to take place at a museum
The wedding ceremonies are planned to take place at the Depot Boijmans Museum in Rotterdam, with the potential for the exhibition to tour other venues.
Alicia's decision to marry an AI-generated hologram sparks discussions about the boundaries of human relationships and the potential for AI to provide companionship.
Alicia Framis is not the first artist to incorporate marriage as a central theme in her performances.
In 2016, a British artist Tracey Emin married a rock in her garden, symbolizing an anchor and personal connection.
