They can see and hear everything, and the audience can see and hear them, creating an immersive experience for everyone!” * ***ESPN Producer, Baron Miller*** | | --- | | ![spotlight stories-1](https://blog.protohologram.com/hs-fs/hubfs/spotlight%20stories-1.png?upscale=true&upscale=true&width=377&height=122&name=spotlight%20stories-1.png) | | --- | | # Proto Brings Claire Silver's AI Art to Life at Christie's | | --- | | [![image0-1](https://blog.protohologram.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image0-1.jpeg?upscale=true&upscale=true&width=500&height=655&name=image0-1.jpeg)](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/activity-7302361918076329984-T2el/?rcm=ACoAAClxDHMB1I7nbSnvKu7aMVzPbeVS2ZiM6sY&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--aGMrCNMEPz9ii1PAxx8Y8k33luZF4MJSTRQq7g7a1CvxMcE8YviUa-vUMnm2xvG2AW37d) | | --- | | At the *Augmented Intelligence* auction in New York, Proto transformed the way visitors engaged with art.  In collaboration with Christie’s Auction House and anonymous AI artist Claire Silver, Proto served as the modality of choice for an interactive demonstration of her work – blurring the lines between artist, audience, and artificial intelligence.  Silver’s AI avatar didn’t just present her art – it responded in real-time, painting, discussing AI, and even attempting a dance.  Visitors saw technology breathe life into creativity as the avatar reacted to them – describing a family nearby, making visitors smile, and sending a wave goodbye. This was not just an exhibition... It was a glimpse into the future of art, where AI and human imagination merge in ways never seen before. | | --- | | Click here to see Claire Silver in action! | | --- | | WNBA Star, Allisha Gray, Beams into ESPN's *College GameDay* | | --- | | [![Screenshot 2025-03-04 at 5.03.27 PM](https://blog.protohologram.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-03-04%20at%205.03.27%20PM.png?upscale=true&upscale=true&width=500&height=559&name=Screenshot%202025-03-04%20at%205.03.27%20PM.png)](https://www.espnfrontrow.com/2025/02/behind-the-scenes-with-college-gameday-exclusive-insights-from-coordinating-producer-baron-miller/?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--aGMrCNMEPz9ii1PAxx8Y8k33luZF4MJSTRQq7g7a1CvxMcE8YviUa-vUMnm2xvG2AW37d) | | --- | | ESPN’s *College GameDay* just made history with Proto, as WNBA star, Allisha Gray, beamed in live as a real-time hologram to join the conversation.  She was not pre-recorded – she interacted with the panel in the moment, discussing her journey and engaging with fans and reporters in a way that felt truly present. Throughout the season, Proto is bringing more WNBA stars into ESPN broadcasts in real time, with LSU’s Flau’jae Johnson and Aneesah Morrow already making appearances.  As more athletes beam in, Proto continues to prove that distance is no longer a barrier to connecting, inspiring, and being part of the action – wherever they are in the world. | | --- | | Click here to read our feature on ESPN Front Row! | | --- | | ## Howie Mandel Beams into Koch Industries' *GenAI Live* Event with Proto | | --- | | [![Screenshot 2025-03-03 at 8.57.42 PM](https://blog.protohologram.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-03-03%20at%208.57.42%20PM.png?upscale=true&upscale=true&width=500&height=551&name=Screenshot%202025-03-03%20at%208.57.42%20PM.png)](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/activity-7292965267381399553-xko9?rcm=ACoAAClxDHMB1I7nbSnvKu7aMVzPbeVS2ZiM6sY&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--aGMrCNMEPz9ii1PAxx8Y8k33luZF4MJSTRQq7g7a1CvxMcE8YviUa-vUMnm2xvG2AW37d) | | --- | | Proto is redefining how the world’s biggest enterprises connect and innovate – most recently at Koch Industries’ *GenAI Live* event, where Howie Mandel beamed in live to engage with Chase Koch and attendees.
