ARTAI
High-Level Project Summary
ARTAI uses Deep Learning to reproduce and apply concepts and styles from any artist such as Vincent Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Claude Monet or even Pedro, an 08-year-old public school student who used his creativity to draw how he imagines asteroids a be explored by Lucy. ARTAI's goal is to give wings to the imagination, engaging people through art, disseminating culture and space missions such as the spacecraft Lucy will encounter in the coming years. In this way, we can promote critical thinking but arouse the curiosity of people from different social, cultural and economic classes. They say that everything starts in the imagination and it is exactly this concept that ARTAI intends to bring

Detailed Project Description
What if the challenge of illustrating the diversity Lucy will explore was made in 1880? 1900? 1950? What would be the representations of diversity by the vision and imagination of famous artists or even by a public school child in some remote region of the world?
It all starts in the imagination.
With ARTAI it's no different. In this project, we aim to awaken artistic skills, while encouraging interest in astronomical subjects, since drawings are incorporated into real images of asteroids, through Deep Learning.
ARTAI is a project that was developed in Python and aims to disseminate knowledge and information from missions such as Lucy, through art and culture, creating unique works of art that can be presented in various formats, whether in a digital gallery, a museum exhibition, a challenge among students in the classroom or even the transformation into NFT. As mentioned, this project has an artificial intelligence with Deep Learning to reproduce artistic styles of any artist such as Vicent Van Gogh, Tarsila do Amaral, among others. However, we argue that science should be as accessible as the ability to invent. Therefore, it is possible to transvestite images with lesser-known artists: such as Pedro, a student of the public network, who is only eight years old. Therefore, our technology does not only apply to famous artists immortalized by their works of great impact, because we provide the opportunity of the manifestation of creativity in the face of the imagination of the asteroids that will be found by Lucy.
In this project, we seek to encourage the admission to knowledge about astronomical subjects. In this way, our aim is to reach people like Peter, who still rely on imagination to explore the universe to which they belong.
For this, we provide the prominence of these individuals so that they can contemplate their artistic universes before the imagination referring to what will be found by Lucy in the coming years.
In the future, we intend to organize paid events such as arts fairs, commercialized works of printed arts and NFT to raise funds that are directed to encourage the dissemination of STEAM knowledge in underprivileged communities, with students from kindergarten, elementary and high school.
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”
― Albert Einstein

The two principal inspiring references is these two links below. We can see a lot of images of asteroids. Most of them is concept art but we can see some real images too.

Hackathon Journey
It is the third consecutive year that I have participated in the SpaceApps Challenge. I chose to participate in this challenge mainly because of his artistic and creative proposal. I believe that many projects tend to use technology to achieve achievements and execute something, but I miss the encouragement of imagination and creativity as such a fundamental engine in the aspiration of new projects, achievements and explorations.
Our approach is precisely something that came from our imagination and curiosity, and if in 1890 Vincent Van Gogh had to create a work of art of how he would imagine the asteroids explored by the Lucy mission would be. How many people today would not be impacted by this work of art? And in the imagination of children, adults and scientists, what would this representation look like? It is these responses that we do not necessarily want to resolve, but rather to provoke critical thinking, disseminated through art and culture.
