Convergence: AI and Art
"Convergence: AI and Art" invites visitors to embark on a mesmerizing journey where artistry and cutting-edge technology intertwine. This collaboration between the Seattle NFT Museum and Bright Moments brings together renowned artists, AI innovators, and creative technologists to explore the possibilities and implications of this transformative intersection.
Featuring a diverse range of AI-generated artworks encoded as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), the exhibition showcases the marriage of human imagination and machine intelligence. Attendees will be captivated by the mesmerizing digital compositions, interactive installations, and thought-provoking visual narratives that blur the boundaries of traditional artistic mediums.
The exhibition serves as a platform to delve into the profound implications of AI in art creation, questioning established notions of authorship, creativity, and the role of the artist. Through immersive experiences and engaging displays, visitors will gain insight into the creative process behind AI-generated art and its transformative potential in shaping future artistic landscapes.
"We are excited to collaborate with Bright Moments to bring 'AI and Art' to life," said Jennifer Wong, co-founder and curator at the Seattle NFT Museum. "This exhibition pushes the boundaries of artistic expression, inviting visitors to witness the symbiotic relationship between human ingenuity and machine learning algorithms. We hope to inspire conversations around the transformative impact of AI on the art world and explore the ethical and cultural implications it presents."
The Seattle NFT Museum and Bright Moments are committed to fostering an inclusive and educational experience for all visitors. Alongside the exhibition, a series of workshops, artist talks, and panel discussions will be organized to include the public in conversations about the convergence of AI and art.
“Our Tokyo AI Collection is iconic. We reached out to the top AI artists working today to participate, and they all said yes. These 11 series of 100 works range from algorithmically generated on-chain to carefully hand curated (sarin), and from representational to abstract. Together they tell an important story about the early days of this new medium and deserve to be seen in new environments like the Seattle NFT Museum” - Seth Goldstein, Founder, Bright Moments
Featured artists
Pindar Van Arman
“When I began with my first machines fifteen years ago, they were only capable of simple tasks, like connecting dots and painting by numbers. My most recent robots, however, use deep learning neural networks, artificial intelligence, feedback loops and computational creativity to make a surprising amount of independent aesthetic decisions. My machines have grown beyond being simple assistants and are now effectively augmenting my own creativity, as well as having creativity of their own. They have become a generative AI art system so sophisticated, that it has forced me to consider the possibility that all art is generative.”
Ganbrood
“With a background in special effects, 3D animation, videogames, and photography, Bas Uterwijk, aka Ganbrood, has always been involved in forms of visual storytelling that imitate and distort reality. Since 2019 he combined his different skills and experiences when he started working with generative adversarial networks (GANs): Deep Learning, Artificial Intelligence based software that interprets and synthesizes photographs. His work is characterized by "pseudo-figurative" works that tend to disrupt human visual recognition, and for which he uses neural networks as a synthetic muse.”
Helena Sarin
"The psychologist Daniel E. Berger claims the most important aspects of art are “novelty, surprise, complexity, ambiguity and eccentricity”, Sarin’s GAN artworks have all five in abundance.” - wrote Unit London in 2019. Visual artist, software engineer and maker (she calls herself an engineering artist)
Kevin Abosch
Kevin Abosch (born 1969) is an Irish conceptual artist who works across traditional mediums as well as with generative methods including machine learning and blockhain technology. Abosch's work addresses the nature of identity and value by posing ontological questions and responding to sociological dilemmas.
Mario Klingemann
Mario Klingemann is a German artist who uses algorithms and artificial intelligence to create and investigate systems. He is particularly interested in human perception of art and creativity, researching methods in which machines can augment or emulate these processes. Thus his artistic research spans a wide range of areas like neurography, generative art, cybernetic aesthetics, information theory, NFTs and DAOs, feedback loops, pattern recognition, emergent behaviors, neural networks, cultural data or storytelling.
Jenni Pasanen
Creating in the new medium and the era of art, where creativity of machine & mind unite as one. Jenni Pasanen is an artists combining digital painting with AI, instead of canvas painted by a brush, she use AI as her inspiration & paint. This tool frees the imagination, to create something unprecedented & fascinating.
Mat Dryhurst + Holly Herndon
Holly Herndon & Mathew Dryhurst are artists renowned for their pioneering work in machine learning, software and music. They develop their own technology, and protocols for living with the technology of others, often with a focus on the ownership and augmentation of personal identity and voice. These technical systems not only facilitate expansive artworks across media, but are proposed as artworks unto themselves. They were awarded the 2022 Ars Electronica STARTS prize for digital art.
Ivona Tau
Ivona Tau, Ph.D. is a generative AI artist & AI researcher from Vilnius, Lithuania, who combines code, deep neural networks, and personal memories embedded in photography. Her goal is to find and evoke emotions through artificially intelligent tools. Tau’s work has been exhibited widely, including The House of Fine Art, Art Basel Miami Beach, SCOPE, CAFA, Frieze LA, Art Week Shenzhen, Vellum LA, Bright Moments Berlin, and Sotheby’s New York.
Huemin
Huemin, an AI generative artist, combines art and technology to create unique abstract geometric compositions. They have a minimalist approach and a scientific mindset, which has earned them recognition in the community. Huemin remains dedicated to pushing the boundaries of AI generative art and continuously exploring new possibilities.
Claire Silver
Claire Silver is an anonymous AI-Collaborative artist and early Cryptopunk. Her work is an ongoing visual conversation with AI, exploring themes of trauma, innocence, divinity, the hero's journey, and how our view of them will change in an increasingly transhumanist future. Claire's art has sold at Sotheby's London's Contemporary Day Auction, digitally on SuperRare, and has been exhibited in galleries, museums, and festivals all over the world. Featured in WIRED, the New York Times, and countless podcasts, Claire takes every opportunity to explore her unending fascination with AI, fight for visibility for the budding art movement, and wonder at the magnitude of this moment in history.
