Nestled in the heart of Dubai, Zenon redefines the dining experience, seamlessly blending gastronomy, AI, entertainment, and innovation.
As the doors of Zenon swing open, patrons are welcomed into a realm where culinary artistry meets technological marvel. The restaurant’s pièce de résistance is the integration of AI-designed screens that envelop the entire space. Partnering with Ouchhh Studios, Zenon boasts meticulously crafted innovative AI artwork along the many screens surrounding the restaurant. The AI artwork is created by an input of live Dubai-based data into an art and colour producing algorithm which is reflected on the ever-moving screens. The hypnotic artwork creates a transient immersive atmosphere, transforming the dining experience into a visual and gastronomic spectacle.
“In collaboration with Ouchhh Studio, we’re not just creating a restaurant; we’re crafting an immersive narrative where technology and gastronomy intertwine. It’s a journey into the future, where every dish tells a story, and every screen showcases the artistry of our partnership.” Says General Manager, Oktay Unlu.
