@@amirrp8736 Custom software/code mostly processing data and visualizing, you can look at data visualization for a start and then use the data and insights to translate it into abstract visuals using Processing, Houdini or many 3d applications to create passive visuals or interactive ones with audience input even. you can also use machine learning on data sets and create neural networks to create GAN. or AI models than can continually scrape, visualize and alter with interactions.
Ted is better without a stage. Look at how amazing this talk is. I'm really amazed. Stages limit the ability to visualize what the person holding the mic want to tell.
I get a different feeling. He could be the evil doctor that leans over you while you're on the gurney and says with a smile, "We are going to remove all of your organs now, you may feel some pain. I am sorry for that."
We are truly living in an exceptional time. I believe human stands on a critical point in the time of history. Will it be the collapse and destruction of what we have built and achieved throughout centuries or will humans make a quantum leap to a transhumanism with the help of AI? Which path we choose will determine the fate of humanity.
I'm afraid that things in the future will evolve so quickly that it won't be in a single person's ability to get a grasp basics of everything, as I am trying to do today. Let alone older people.
All those aesthetically pleasing visuals combined with that strange background music feels so mesmerizing. Such an exquisite feast from TED after a long time. Phenomenal piece of art and knowledge.
He is working in the fields of site-specific public art with parametric data sculpture approach and live audio/visual performance with immersive installation approach, particularly his works explore the space among digital and physical entities by creating a hybrid relationship between architecture and media arts with machine intelligence.
I spend hours a day on RU-vid watching videos like this, and yet this one video shook me to the core. The future has the potential to be so beautiful...
A truly unique and beautiful mind expressing a profoundly inspirational message about art. I will reflect on this talk as I prepare for my first major solo exhibition next year.
It would be really helpful if this channel start adding more information about the speaker in the discription. (Information like qualifications,etc) Edit: Suggestions should be added for those who want to make career such extraordinary things.
Refik basically takes very basic motion design principles and sells them as fine art. Many of his works are derived from very basic tutorials and plugins from C4D. Any motion designer or vfx artist can tell you that. At most he's a great salesman
I thought the same. Very gimmicky and I find all the final results to look random and meaningless. But the average person walking down the street who sees his installations will be impressed. He does a good job generated a "back story" for his rather superficial pieces imo.
Refik has definitely started the AI art movement. I love his work, and this TED talk just became the icing on the cake. I just love how he conceptualizes his works. Can't wait to experience this in person. ❤️🔥
Several of these "abstract sculptures" like the ones you've seen in this video are easy to make with a software you can download for free and following tutorials you also find on youtube for free. Here the real intelligence is this guys who learned how to use this knowledge in this very fancy way.
Amazing, and vaguely unsettling. The ending, especially. This guy is like a younger, edgier, updated version of the Architect from The Matrix. He just needs to use words like "apropos" and "ergo" a few times and the effect'll be complete.
@@kardelenkelek229 And here I was thinking being rich gave you some sort of advantage over the hundreds of thousands of other artists and creatives that don't even have money to buy food or pay rent let alone study in the best schools, have access to technology, materials, profesionals and specialists that could further your work. I'm so fucking dumb, so so fucking dumb. Stupid me! Sorry dude, I'm so sorry. Will you forgive me?! Please! I feel so bad. I'm just stupid...
I was first hesitant and antagonistic against Anadol's methods to make art computer generated models of data. However, his points about experiencing information to transform it into knowledge and imagination is seeing with the brain struck me and changed my mind. I'm simply amazed at his insight into this yet unexplored application for AI/ML and thus uncovering a new market for human creativity. Well done!
also, the technology that is used behind this glitter is quite simple. there are much more interesting things are happening now without such noise in the world
True success takes time. There will be decades where nothing happens, and all over sudden there will be weeks where decades happen. You can only do so much in one day, so stop beating yourself up. Be patient You will get all the things you want, but it's likely going to take a few more years than you first thought it would be. Take your time to master the skills, build up that connections with your mentors, and have courage to build something bigger than yourself. Happy hustling don't give up!
What a wonderful collection of trippy patterns and visuals, the swirling squares and the boiling, pixelated water, like taking a trip but without the drugs.
I work in "AI". The technology used in this presentation is just polished technology that exists since few to many years. Nothing revolutionary nor really intelligent. Those models can't even play tic tac toe. There's no intent, no planning (unless you specifically trained it to do so). As many others, this guy humanise programs by saying that they think, hallucinate, dream. Where it is really not that at all. But yeah it looks beautiful.
I completely agree, he couldve looked at the new research where AI allows you to replace parts of an image seamlessly with other textures, and a lot of others that are valid AI uses for graphical design (that i cant remember off the top of my head) but he chose to make over glorified wallpapers lol.
@@damndumb3920 but image inpainting is also relatively new, and i just meant that he didn't even talk or use that although it fits both "Art" and "AI". But i never said anything about AGI (and i think the video didn't either, otherwise that artist would be way in over his head) and this clearly isnt generalizable to anything unless you want to make unique wallpapers lol 😂
This is interesting in the visual point of view. As person that is really interested in arts and work with data I still miss some humanity on these pieces of work. I miss the intention of the creator, but that's not a critic on the craft, using machine learning is a means to the audience interact with the piece in a whole new way. What is underlying here is that I don't recognise the machine as being. I don't talk with Alexa, I use my voice and ears as interface with Alexa's system. Alexa don't have parents or a purpose of life. Alexa is product sold by Amazon so Amazon can sell me more products. Amazon do have intention, the machine can't have one. -- EDIT: I commented too soon. Beautiful work on Melting Memories, that's what I am talking about. :D
Hahaha exactly! He's created some beautiful imagery, but it seems to me that he's legitimizing it with all of this data collection. Its a respectable endeavor, but I don't think the end result is providing any concrete insight on whether or not and how an A.I. might dream or aspire to. Its essentially a means of form generation. It doesn't actually seem to matter that one of those millions of dots is technically at video of a girl crossing the Brooklyn Bridge. So the end visual is simple projecting his visual aesthetic. But someone correct me if I'm wrong.
A talk that should have been 10 times longer. Absolutely stunning art. I do have to ask one question... If AI was programmed to dream, or spontaneously developed that ability - how would we know if it is equally capable of differentiating between dreaming and reality?

In other words I think he could skip much of the initial phase and just jump to the exact same final look. But then it wouldn't have the same cultural relevance. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Same impression. Lots of trendy intellectual keywords to justify that the final art is considered *his* work rather than that of the programmers who actually created the visuals.
This is extraordinary! I can't find enough words to describe how I love this! To combine art and knowledge into a single thing made me dream of how much we can learn, and I'm totally captivated by the idea. This will revolutionize the way we understand reality!
I just saw and enjoyed the CNN video with artist Refik Anadol, and must comment, it is the first AI generated work that, in my opinion, the work is not producing abominations out of thousands of images Anadol used from the MoMa archive. That is, instead of generating a distorted and / or remarkable likeness (which is worse??) as a final result, all the artistic imagery being presented on the large digital display at MoMa, are pure abstracts with no visible recognition of the data the AI system was fed. In fact, regardless if the spectator is aware, or not, of Anadol's methods related to the use thousands of famous painting and photographic images, I argue, because the output having no signs of any of these images, has no bearing on spectator "appreciation" for the work. For me, my appreciation for his work is based on the seeming, very involved workflow process in collecting and feeding images into the artists system, that ultimately produced continuous regenerative abstracts. In itself, I find the work, that is, these AI generated abstracts, that never duplicate themselves, fascinating.
I'm seeing a lot of people they didn't understand, basically he grabs as much information as posible, like pictures, photos, videos and documents, and makes a representation of all that as art, letting a computer transform the information into a forever changing video
Because I have such a detailed brain that is so therapeutic to watch it gives my mind not much room to think about anything other than watching every single motion it's making
This is absolutely game changing. Imagine that everything that was posted online and collected as data, it can actually turn into visuals. This would be revolutionary for upcoming generations.
Very cool video. AI in Art is so fascinating. I recently made a video on it totally convinced that AI could become better artists. However I wondered if we would value AI Art as much as human art. Especially knowing the personal turmoils of the artist that is the soul of the art. 🤔 Maybe not.
My girlfriend has hyperthymesia. She remembers almost every single detail of life. Idk why but I feel like this and the amygdala being what processes and stores memories is something that needs to be looked at further
