Adobe Photoshop AI changed my workflow with its generative fill feature, however, Google’s new AI Art Selfie 2 feature is changing the way I look at myself altogether. The feature uses generative AI to stylistically add your face to famous artworks. At least, that’s what I thought it was going to do after reading some articles about it online, but no matter how many times I tried, I couldn’t become a Shakespearean character.
In fact, all it managed to do was turn me into a surfer and give me an extra chin. Yeah, this might be another pointless AI tool that does nothing to benefit my life in any way, but at least I can laugh while it uses a cloak of culture to steal my likeness and create another version of me in an alternate universe.
If you want to join me on this intergalactic journey, the Art Selfie 2 feature is available right now through Google’s Arts & Culture app which you can find on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

To navigate and use Google’s Art Selfie 2 feature:
- Open the Google Arts & Culture App
- Click on the ‘Play’ button at the bottom of the screen
- See just below ‘Play with your camera’ or click on the banner
- Click Art Selfie 2
From there it’s a matter of playing around with the app and taking different selfies to see what works best with your chosen style. I had the most success with Renoir’s Boating Party, Medieval Knight, and Astronaut in Outerspace, however, I’ve seen some solid renditions of Davinci’s Ermine as well. Still, I don’t really know what the point of this feature is, but I’m sure it’ll get a few laughs in the lunchroom. If it’s any consolation prize the tool tells you about the artwork which it’s placing your face onto.
