March 25, 2024 – TheNewswire - Vancouver, British Columbia – Legible Inc. (CSE:READ) (OTC:LEBGF) (FSE:D0T) ("Legible” / “Company”), a global online eBook and audiobook platform pioneering technological innovation and creative storytelling, is thrilled to announce a collaboration with esteemed career fine artist, author and film director Remo Camerota to create an AI-powered version of Mary Shelley's masterpiece Frankenstein.
In a first-of-its-kind fusion of classic literature and cutting-edge technology, Legible’s “FrAnkensteIn” will utilize artificial intelligence (AI) to create interactive story elements, allowing users to engage directly with the narrative and characters in ways never before possible. This interactive experience promises to challenge perceptions of storytelling, blurring the lines between creator and creation, much like the novel itself.
Remo Camerota is an award-winning director, artist, and photographer, with a background in illustration, painting, animation, and interactive multimedia design, whose art is included in a unique collection recently sent to the moon. Known for his ability to meld science, tech, and sound with art to create immersive experiences, Camerota’s visionary perspective and digital artistry will ensure that FrAnkensteIn is not only a narrative feat, but also a visual spectacle, offering audiences around the world a uniquely engaging way to experience a zeitgeist that will bridge this 1900 novel to today.
The collaboration aims to preserve the soul of Shelley's original work while infusing it with interactive elements that explore themes of creation, ethics, and human frailty and innocence - questions that are even more relevant today with our 21st-century technology and scientific advances than they were in the 19th century.
Remo Camerota stated, "I am excited to collaborate with Legible on this groundbreaking project. Blending the haunting beauty of Frankenstein with AI allows us to reflect on the implications of creation and technology, themes that Mary Shelley could never have imagined but are now part of our daily lives."
"Working with Remo Camerota on this project is an absolute honor," said Kaleeg Hainsworth, CEO of Legible. "His visionary approach to art and storytelling perfectly complements our mission to innovate within the literary world. Together, we are not just retelling Frankenstein; we are reimagining it for a new era."
FrAnkensteIn is not just a revival of a gothic masterpiece; it is a leap into the future of digital narrative. This ambitious project aims to explore the themes of creation, ethics, and humanity that Shelley's novel famously wrestled with, using the very technology that epitomizes modern-day innovation: artificial intelligence.
This innovative project marks the third publication in Legible's celebrated AI-powered classics series, following the successful releases of A Christmas Carol AI and Animal Farm AI. By teaming up with Camerota, whose eclectic portfolio spans film, photography, and digital art, Legible ensures that this version of Frankenstein will captivate readers with its unique blend of classic narrative, modern aesthetics, and unique innovations created by the artist.
FrAnkensteIn is set to launch in Q3 this year, with previews and exclusive content being made available in the lead-up to the release. The Living Book will be available exclusively on Legible.com both as an a-la-carte purchase and to members of Legible Unbound, which provides unlimited access to a vast curated catalogue of eBooks and audiobooks in multiple languages for the low monthly fee of $10 USD.
