The World’s Largest AI Artwork Exhibition

The AI artwork motion is accelerating quick. And whereas the very idea of AI artwork sits on the heart of one of the contentious and ongoing debates in current historical past, the creators driving the pattern ahead seemingly have each nothing and the whole lot to show to these trying to delegitimize the know-how and its use.

Towards a hostile backdrop, artists proceed to push the boundaries of what may be completed with the assistance of civilization’s newest artwork instruments. And the proliferation of these instruments and the passion with which they’ve been adopted by thousands and thousands throughout the globe signifies that bodily exhibitions devoted solely to AI-assisted art work have gotten more and more commonplace. 

Their presence at NFT Paris this week is only one instance of this, with Superchief Gallery NFT collaborating with AI artwork pioneer and advocate Claire Silver on Artist x AI 000003. Co-curated by Silver, the exhibition will function work from 39 of essentially the most modern AI-enabled artists within the area from 2:00-8:00 p.m. on February 25 and 26, with every work dropping as a 1/1 on Basis on February 23.

That gallery neatly leads into one other Superchief-hosted AI artwork exhibition in Los Angeles on March 3 entitled Deep Pretend. The present is billing itself as the most important gathering of AI artwork ever. We spoke to artist and present curator ClownVamp concerning the exhibition’s significance, timing, and contribution to the bigger dialog the world is having about AI artwork.

The road between actual and synthetic

Going down in collaboration with the AI artwork collective MAIF, Deep Pretend’s theme leans straight into critiques that AI artists and their works aren’t “real,” a motif that Claire Silver explored in her iconic assortment “AI Art is Not Art.” Seventy-three items submitted by 62 creators within the collective shall be on show throughout the present, which is being held at Superchief’s downtown Los Angeles gallery.

In an identical type to the NFT Paris exhibition, 62 of the 73 artworks shall be minted on Basis and out there for public sale a day earlier than the present. The remaining 11 items are collaborative efforts by MAIF artists that shall be launched on Objkt as editions of 30 for 20 XTZ every. 

ClownVamp, the present’s curator, is a well known and revered AI artwork collector and artist within the area. They consider the exhibition is an opportunity to explicitly make the group’s voice heard and make sure the usually poisonous dialog surrounding AI artwork isn’t one-sided.

“There has been such a huge explosion of interest in AI art,” ClownVamp mentioned whereas chatting with nft now. “But I think most people don’t yet fully grasp what is possible in terms of sharing perspective with AI. These new tools have unleashed creative superpowers in a way that we have never seen before. What happens when people from all over the globe, connected by the internet, meditate on a single topic? Deep Fake is the result of that question.” 

The exhibition’s roster consists of artists like Tomeo, Prostov, Str4ngeThing, Jenni Pasanen, Anna Rental, Stephan Vasement, Nikita Clean, 0009, Richard Nadler, Ren AI, Leônidas Valdez, and many extra who’ve put their inventive spin on the idea of constructed and perceived realities.

ClownVamp hopes the exhibition will assist underscore the concept that AI artwork instruments’ inherent accessibility is heralding an unparalleled period within the democratization of creativity in society.

“In the past, new creative tools had barriers to entry,” ClownVamp elaborated on the excellence of AI artwork as a motion. “You needed a computer that could run Photoshop, a tablet for Procreate, or a DSLR camera. With AI being done over the cloud, [something] anyone with an internet connection can access, you have a technology that will have a fundamentally different adoption curve. This show is meant to embrace that. Some of our artists have been practicing art across media for thirty years. Others are six months into viewing themselves as an artist. What matters is the stories they are telling.”

Cash raised from the sale of artwork on each Basis and Objkt shall be used to create the MAIF Artwork Fund, whose objective shall be to accumulate artwork from rising AI artists. ClownVamp is donating their curator payment to the fund as nicely.

Above all, the artists and group organizers behind Deep Pretend goal to point out how AI artwork instruments may be an intimate and emotionally resonant conduit by which creativity and expression can flourish.

“So much of our culture is socially constructed meaning,” ClownVamp mentioned of the exhibition’s theme. “AI is written off; we are fear mongered about deep fakes and all the negatives. [The exhibition] is meant to embrace this, to make us question where we are drawing these lines. The goal here was to have artists explore these lines and to use the art world’s ‘fakest’ toolset to do so. Perhaps these ‘fake’ tools can create some real thoughts and feelings.”

The present comes at a time when the AI artwork debate is at its most heated. With several lawsuits being filed towards corporations like Stability AI, the way forward for these instruments and the artwork they assist produce remains to be an open-ended query. For now, exhibitions like Deep Pretend and Artist x AI 000003 are doing their half to remind the world that revolutionary instruments and artwork traditions have at all times been disruptive and that historical past would possibly provide the higher a part of knowledge in approaching them with curiosity and enthusiasm, not worry.
