Balestrieri, the main man behind Tinrocket, has spent more than 20 years experimenting with art and vision using computer graphics. Each of his apps, including Percolator, Waterlogue, and Cinemin, focuses on visual and aesthetic principles derived from the human visual system and centuries of artistic tradition. While there are many apps that use generative AI to improve photos, Balestrieri takes a different tack. He thinks that depending on AI frequently necessitates enormous amounts of training data and can abuse artists by using their previous work. Instead of heavily relying on AI algorithms, he decides to embrace his own artistic journey and solve problems on his own.

Cinemin offers a novel perspective on photography and videography in a world full of AI tricks, reclaiming your creative control. Thus, Cinemin may be the artistic tool you’ve been looking for, whether you’re a fan of the arts or simply enjoy taking photos and making videos.
