Get ready for an artistic spectacle like no other! World-renowned artist David Hockney is about to unveil his latest masterpiece on one of the grandest stages in the world – the Glastonbury festival in the UK. Brace yourselves, because Hockney’s new video, titled “I lived in Bohemia Bohemia is a Tolerant Place,” is set to take the Pyramid Stage screens by storm later today (keep your eyes peeled around 5.30pm GMT).
Prepare to be captivated as Hockney uses the power of Artificial Intelligence to breathe new life into his iconic painted series, The Dancers (2014). In this mesmerizing moving image piece, Hockney has magically removed the figures from his original artwork, creating a whole new visual experience that will leave you in awe.
But Hockney didn’t embark on this artistic adventure alone. He joined forces with the digital platform Circa, marking their second collaboration. (In case you missed it, Hockney previously wowed the world in 2021 with a digital sunrise that graced billboards across six cities.) Together, they have crafted a Glastonbury smorgasbord that promises to be a feast for the senses.
Emily Eavis, the co-organizer of the legendary Glastonbury Festival, couldn’t contain her excitement about Hockney’s incredible creation. She expressed her gratitude, saying, “We are truly honored to showcase this groundbreaking work for the first time right before our very special guests on the Pyramid Stage this evening, and then across our main stages over the weekend. Thank you to Circa for bringing this fantastic project to life.”
So, get ready to be swept away by the genius of David Hockney as he unveils his awe-inspiring artwork at Glastonbury. This is an experience you won’t want to miss!
