Imagine pointing your phone at the world and painting it with AI. That’s Local Canvas — an app that turns everyday videos into hybrid artworks where reality meets artificial creativity.
Here’s how it works: Upload a video, pick an art style (Pop Art, Klimt, Banksy), and our AI detects objects in your footage. Cars become Warhol prints. People transform into Klimt paintings. The street stays real, but the subjects become art.
The magic is in the hybrid. This isn’t about replacing reality — it’s about selectively transforming pieces of it, creating a world where AI-generated art coexists with authentic surroundings.
Local Canvas in Action
Watch everyday objects transform into living artworks — from Sailor Jerry tattoos to Pop Art cars, all while reality stays intact around them.
But why stop at famous artists? We experimented with custom models where users could train the AI on their own drawings. Draw a car, upload it, and suddenly every car in your videos becomes your art style.
This transforms AI from a tool into a creative collaborator. You’re not just applying filters — you’re teaching the machine your artistic vision and watching it paint the world through your eyes.
