Banana Palette

Banana Palette explores the creative dialogue between nature, human craftsmanship, and artificial intelligence.

Prof. So-Yeon Yoon of Human Centered Design uses Google's Nano Banana Pro to generate ten distinctive interior design concepts for Cornell's Adams Corner Café, inspired by her original handcrafted necklace designs. Each concept translates the jewelry's colors, textures, forms, and rhythms into a sophisticated spatial experience, demonstrating how AI can extend human creativity into new design possibilities.

Guest artist Prof. Won Ha of Ulsan University, South Korea presents a lenticular artwork inspired by the changing waves and horizons of Ulsan, South Korea, creating a dynamic visual experience that shifts with the viewer's movement.

Together, the works explore the intersection of art, design, and technology, highlighting AI as a creative collaborator rather than a replacement for human imagination.
