World's First AI-Powered Butterfly Art Installation
In Wan Chai, a 7-meter stained-glass butterfly and over 350 LED butterflies have turned Lee Tung Avenue into a playground of light. Dubbed "Butterflies of Hope," the world's first AI-powered butterfly art installation aims to inspire and uplift, reminding visitors of all the hope, love, beauty and positivity in the world. Each afternoon, when the sun shines high in the sky, the glass installation refracts natural light onto the ground, effectively painting the boulevard with light and radiant colors. Enjoy the AI festivities at Lee Tung Avenue until January 10, 2021.
