Did you know that for over 100 years the printing process has used four inks - Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (Black) - to create millions of colors?

See in CMYK invites you to explore this process and learn about the science of color. Create a custom CMYK poster using four colors and a universe of AI icons, generated by Gemini in response to your image.

This playful experiment by artist Stefanie Posavec was created in collaboration with the Exploratorium and Google Arts & Culture Lab.

How it works
- First, you are invited to take a photo.
- Using Gemini, your photo is analyzed to identify specific objects and light densities.
- Traditional, uniform halftone dots are then transformed into a bespoke universe of AI-generated icons.
- You are invited to experiment with print settings to create your own unique poster.
