And We Thought is a multimedia art project that integrates art and AI. Through an unconventional machine learning approach, visual artist Roberto Fassone fed Ai Lai, an artificial intelligence, with thousands of psychedelic trip reports. Ai Lai elaborated and generated new texts that became the foundation for a series of new works: a book, a series of videos, posters and a rap album. A universe of imaginative and synaesthetic experiences.
