Will AI Art take over the galleries of the world? NEW work by Refik Anadol in London! 

Thx for the vid. Saw his live stream from the opening on Instagram, looked amazing. And yes he knows how to play social media and that makes him so popular I think and besides that he deserves it. When i saw him in Düsseldorf his art had a very calming effect on me. Today I saw videos of the Rotterdam exhibit and you dive into a room surrounded by his AI art. We should welcome this new form of expression and I don't think it will ever take the place of street art by Banksy, great paintings by Raffael, Boticelli, Gerhard Richter, Picasso, Dali, Duchamp or performance art by Abramovic, installations by Jenny Holzer or Ai WeiWei. Ai WeiWei had an interessting project, he and AI answered 81 questions that were kind of philosophical. Every day a billboard on Picadilly showed the answers of Ai WeiWei and Chat GPT, interessting project.Today I saw videos of the Rotterdam exhibit and you dive into a room surrounded by his AI art.Today I saw videos of the Rotterdam exhibit and you dive into a room surrounded by his AI art.

Wanted to go to this but its sold out!

It seems pretty clear to me that AI isn't a 'threat' to art in the way that many people seem to think it is. It will simply become, and has already started becoming, a tool for artists to use to create new and exciting possibilities, much like the invention of photography and its introduction into the art world. Personally, I'm not really a fan of Anadol's work - I think alot of the appeal for most people comes from seeing big shiny images on a big shiny screen which seems a little vacuous to me. It's as you said in the video - I would of enjoyed this exhibition just as much, if not more, if it was just real high quality footage of nature being shown on the screens. To me the AI generated images pail in comparison to the beauty of the real nature that we already have all around us, and the notion that its nature 'seen through a machines eyes' is just redundant to me - The machine isnt really interpreting anything, its just a set of 1's and 0's that were written by humans in the first place anyway. However, thats not to say that AI can't be used to make great art, I truly believe it can, I just haven't seen it yet from Anadol, or anyone else really.
