Chris Dorrell speaks to artists working with AI and meets a robot painterIn a darkened room in Camden, I kneel at an altar, pressing buttons on an illuminated red keyboard. Embossed with the shapes of human body parts, the grotesque buttons prompt words to move around a screen, sometimes forming sentences and other times displaying nonsense. “Seek the path of truth,” I could just about make out. “Woe to the hills where the raven cries. Woe to the mighty who defy the Lord.” I hoped the next button would reveal the full meaning but the letters devolved beyond comprehension. Behind me, computer generated prophets re-enact Biblical scenes against an empty backdrop. Their movements re-imagine the “agonies and trials” of the Old Testament prophets, embodying the frustrations at a world that failed to heed their warnings.\n\nBoth displays form part of an exhibition called Prophecy by the artist Auriea Harvey at the Arebyte Digital Art Centre.

The desire to retreat to something more authentically ‘human’ seems only natural. But artists are inevitably engaging with AI, both as a topic and a tool. Often their work serves as a prompt to interrogate the nature of these new technologies and the role of humans within them. “Every material you use will have its own history, associations, and connotations,” says Anna Ridler, an artist and researcher based in London. “Machine learning is no different. I’m interested in thinking through those associations and histories as part of my work.”In 2019, Ridler exhibited two works at the Barbican’s More Than Human exhibition, about AI and art. For the first, Myriad (Tulips), she took 10,000 photographs of flowers and categorised them by hand according to colour and the state of the flower. The photos were then projected over 50 square metres, parts of which were displayed around the world. An artwork on display at the Serpentine that challenges our conceptions of AIMyriad (Tulips) formed the training set for the second artwork, Mosaic Virus. Here, a ‘generative adversarial network’ – a kind of machine learning framework – produced an image of what it thought a tulip should look like, based on the dataset. Across three screens, the AI-generated tulips changed colour and shape depending on the price of bitcoin, becoming more stripy as the cryptocurrency gained value and less as it declined.\n\nLike Harvey, Ridler found that the AI produced surprising things. “For some reason generative adversarial networks really, really love red. It would just produce way more red flowers than anything else, and it was very hard to get it to balance… Even the people who are working on them don’t fully understand how they behave.” Is there ‘spiritual potential’ to AIOther artists have also seen potential in the data-gathering process. Last year the Serpentine held an exhibition by Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst named The Call, which tried to frame AI as a “collective achievement,” shared by all the people who had helped create the data used in the show. “We’ve been arguing for some time that the production of an AI model itself is a kind of artwork,” Dryhurst and Herndon said in an interview about the project. “If all media is training data, including art, let’s turn the production of training data into art instead.”For the exhibition, Herndon and Dryhurst travelled with the Serpentine Arts Technologies team to record 15 community choirs across the UK. Each was given a songbook and singing exercises, composed by the artists, which would cover all the sounds of the English language and a wide vocal range. These recordings became the training data for AI choral models. An artwork by the robot AI artist Ai-DaThe choristers involved in the training joined a “Data Trust”, a framework intended to give them some control over how the model will be used in the future. This is in stark contrast to many of the largest AI models, where data has been scraped from the internet without consent, and where the algorithms guiding the models are kept under lock and key.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.42.0","shortVersion":"4.42.0","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2629700923","isCrawlerRequest":true}
