@nabihah.ahmad There’s a stigma around using AI in art. But what if it could help preserve cultural heritage instead? At Claude’s first hackathon at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I built a tool that does exactly that, helping viewers understand the history of a garment, where it’s at risk of being erased, and how it lives on today through modern reinterpretations. Last week, 30 builders from around the world came together in Manhattan to explore the intersection of art and technology. @claudeai #claudepartner

Transcript

Everyone loves Asian art, but will never give credit to it. I posted this take on yes squared rank it hit over 2,000,000 views and sparked online conversations about how Asian aesthetics get adopted by Better consumers with zero acknowledgment. So when Anthropic invited me to my first ever hackathon at the Metropolitan Museum of Art covering the Asian art department, naturally, my brain went back to this point and how we can use technology to protect cultural origins. Before we started hacking, I got a tour of the Asian art department, and I kept spotting Buddhist sculptures wearing religious garments that are referenced in current runway collections. I immediately knew this would be my inspiration. My idea was to build a tool that helps you understand the historical context of a garment, see how that context is being erased today, and find out who is actually giving credit. I asked Claude to help me plan and execute it, and we landed on an interactive tool using image recognition and the Better API, as well as live web search. Four hours of iterating later, Claude and I had built project provenance, a tool that maps a garment from ancient sculpture to modern runway and enables museum goers to shop from independent brands that care about the culture and history behind what they're wearing. There were so many cool projects in the room, and it shows how technology can become an interpretation layer for art. So thank you, Anthropic, for for the craziest side best ever.
