USHER X REMY MARTIN

the Grammy award-winning musical artist Usher, launches his limited edition 1738 bottle with Rémy Martin.

brief

concept

The artist used his own musical vocabulary to describe the taste of Cognac to the A.I. technology. Usher’s avant-garde depiction of tasting notes is fed to several AI engines to produce one final result, seen on the limited 1738 Remi Martin Cognac turned into artwork made by me, making the invisible, visible.

With our help of making the label, the Mill Design team produced multiple label variations, and Usher himself selected the label that went directly on the bottle.

from words to images

we have worked on multiple stages of this project, mainly responsible for recreating AI and mimicking the style of the computer generated image, without it being copyright.
