We are honored to welcome you to the inaugural Artificial Art exhibition at Hyperight Data Club. A monthly event initiated by a group of art and AI enthusiasts to explore the possibilities of how AI can impact art and human creativity. The development of generative AI algorithms is moving forward rapidly. New tools are being created that can turn text into realistic (or surrealistic if you prefer) images, combine pictures into new unknown aesthetic expressions, or play with visual art in ways we didn’t think were possible just a couple of years ago. It is fun, inspiring, and at times mind-blowing!
In a series of events, we will experience AI-generated art, talk to artists, and explore and discuss AI-generated art possibilities. In this first opening exhibition and networking event, we will have the pleasure to experience AI-Generated art by the talented Linda Leopold as well as hear a guest presentation by one of the foremost experts in AI.
About the Exhibition
“Unfamiliar objects”, 2021-2022
A series of works created with the AI art technique “art breeding.” The method builds upon unexpected marriages of images, creative collaboration, and chance – resulting in seductive and dreamlike abstract imagery.
