A simple line with a circle changes into a realistic picture of a waterfall next to a lake. However, just last year, Nividia announced GauGAN, an impressive AI system capable of converting children like scribbles into high-resolution photos. Photoshop (one of the most effective programs used to edit pictures) can modify existing scenes or even create fake ones with some effort. Manipulated images have been around for years. Theatre backdrops too are today generated by an AI. They were used to celebrate the Scottish New Year’s Eve in 2020 and other major worldwide events. More impressive is maybe the drone display that uses an army of around 500 drones to create moving 3D shapes in the sky. Four of its robots where seen performing dance moves to The Contours’ hit “Do you love me.” The result was something rather remarkable and beyond what most people are capable of achieving. For New Year’s Eve 2020, Boston Dynamics- the company which produces the most advanced robots in the world, released a unique choreography.

The University of Malta had created virtual avatars to dance with a human dancer. We have seen various shows where AI actively participated in the performance. Ultimately, what we can see from these developments is that AI art isn’t going away anytime soon and, thus, is something artists and society as a whole need to adapt to.Dance and theatre too, are part of AI’s repertoire. He believes that AI is not necessarily copying patterns, but rather responding to human creativity.” So even though you might feel cheated when you realize something was made by AI, you’re responding to something that ultimately had its source in the human,” he says. He suggests that we should consider AI as a collaborator and not competitor in the art field. Mathematician Marcus Du Sautoy is hopeful about the future of AI. In fact, the AI program GPT-3 was licensed by Microsoft in 2020, and the program was released in the same year. Neuroscientist Erik Hoel believes that as AI art starts looking more and more human, it will be controlled by big tech companies, like Facebook, Google and Microsoft. His main argument was that the painting lacked the soul of Rembrandt’s art, which, he believes, can only be achieved through lived experience.Īnother point of critique for using AI is that it will lead to the corporatization of art in creative fields. British art critic Jonathan Jones called this 3-D printed painting “horrible, tasteless, insensitive and soulless travesty of all that is creative in human nature”. In 2016, Microsoft collaborated with Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, the Mauritshuis in The Hague and the Rembrandt House Museum in Amsterdam to create “the Next Rembrandt”.

The 30-minute long movie is made from millions of photos of New York City which have been processed to create unique visuals. Combined with human artistic sense, AI can create masterpieces like Turkish artist Refik Anadol’s “Machine Hallucination” (pictured below). However, that is not to say that AI art can never be unique. Since they are copying patterns, the final art piece is never unique or meaningful like a real artist’s work. These programs create paintings with the patterns they learned. What makes this painting seem so generic is that AI art is made by programs that have been trained to recognize patterns in art styles and structures. Vulture’s art critic mentions how the painting is “Visually, surface- and scale-wise, it is like every other image/painting/print,” that he has ever seen. In fact, the entertainment magazine Vulture calls it 100% generic. The painting was not really as special as we might think. The painting was made by a group of French students who go by the name Obvious. According to the auction house Christie’s, who sold the piece pictured above, this was the first portrait generated by an algorithm to be put up for auction.

In 2018, the painting “Edmond de Belamy, from La Famille de Belamy” made by AI was sold for US$400,000. Simple premise- the AI tool is only as good as the dataset it's trained on, and art capital 'A' is about exploring new frontiers, and creating new forms of expression. In 2018, the painting Edmond de Belamy, from La Famille de Belamy made by AI was sold for US400,000.

For over 50 years now, artists have been writing code to create art. “ Edmond de Belamy, from La Famille de Belamy”, Image courtesy of Christie’sĪI has been used to create art for much longer than we think.
