Art is not just about sculptures, paintings or photographs. Modern technologies enable us to explore entirely new areas of art. Lenovo Poland is well aware of this, and to mark the Hotel Warszawa Art Fair, it has prepared an immersive experience for visitors based on the relationship between humans and artificial intelligence. The first instalment of the exhibition could be seen in room 103, and the next in the Lenovo & Motorola Showroom on the ground floor of the hotel.
“What makes you feel human?” – this seemingly simple question became the key to Room 103. However, this key did not open a traditional door. It allowed visitors to step into a world of art and modern technology. The installation “Before You Enter” encouraged guests to share a part of their humanity with advanced algorithms. The anonymous responses provided insights into the relationship between humans and technology.
In the immersive section of the exhibition, a female cyborg played a key role in interpreting the responses left by participants. Her presence emphasised that artificial intelligence – although it operates on data – attempts to capture the emotions, memories and relationships that make up human identity. Visitors observed how the technology analysed their words and created its own attempts to understand humanity.
At Lenovo, we have long believed that the most interesting innovations arise where technology meets human creativity. That is why, at the Hotel Warszawa Art Fair, we showcased artificial intelligence from a different perspective: not as a tool for automation, but as a medium for dialogue, inspiration and creative expression. With support from MELT MUSEUM, we created an experiential project that encouraged reflection on what makes us human and how technology can help us see ourselves from a completely new perspective. “The project enabled us to present Lenovo’s full product portfolio in a completely new light – not just as tools for work or entertainment, but also for interpreting art,” comments Ewelina Woldan, Communication Manager at Lenovo Poland.
The second part of the exhibition – the CYBERLENS installation, created in collaboration with MELT MUSEUM – allowed visitors to discover their cybernetic alter egos. The system reacted to the viewer’s movement and presence, generating artistic interpretations of their image in real time. Each was dynamic, fleeting and unique, creating the impression of a digital dream that never takes on a final form.
The creators emphasised that the project overturns traditional thinking about the time it takes for AI to generate an image.
Generating a single image or a short video using AI usually takes anywhere from a dozen or so seconds to several minutes. CYBERLENS reverses this timescale: using consumer-grade hardware – a camera and a high-performance computer with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card – it creates a dozen or so new interpretations of reality per second, reacting to the viewer in real time. Instead of asking a computer only about its performance, we ask: what can you imagine? Here, the viewer isn’t simply watching a finished work, but becomes a co-creator of a digital dream that is constantly changing and never takes on a final form. It is also a small invitation to the world of ‘Artificial Dreams’, which we create day in, day out right next door at the MELT MUSEUM, ’ explains Kuba Matyka, co-founder of MELT IMMERSIVE and the MELT MUSEUM.
The project utilised a wide range of Lenovo devices, including Lenovo Tab Plus Gen 2 tablets, the Lenovo Yoga Book 9 laptop with a dual OLED display, the Yoga Pro 27UD‑10 monitor and the Legion T7 desktop. Each of these devices served as a tool to support the creative process, whilst also forming part of a broader narrative about how technology can play a part in interpreting art.
The entire installation was designed to illustrate a potential dialogue between humans and artificial intelligence. The more AI learns about humans, the more it prompts us to reflect on what remains personal and unique within us. As a result, the exhibition ‘Before You Enter’ has become not merely a showcase of technology, but above all an invitation to discuss identity in the digital age.
Lenovo was present at the Hotel Warszawa Art Fair for the third time. In 2025, it presented the art installation ‘Flow’ , and the year before that, it allowed guests to listen to AI-generated music and see for themselves the physical durability of Lenovo’s products.
