AI brings to life new realities and opportunities...

Will AI artists eventually hold their own exhibitions? And would you pay to see them? #AI #AIethics #AIInArtGalleries #Art #Tech #Innovation #ArtificialIntelligence

AI Salvador Dal Museum Reveals Lobster Telephone Enhanced by Artificial Intelligence The Dalí Museum in Florida has unveiled a groundbreaking exhibition merging art and artificial intelligence, featuring a holographic representation of the iconic surrealist Salvador Dalí. Beyond merely showcasing his renowned works, the exhibit offers a dynamic and interactive experience where visitors can engage in conversation with a digital recreation of Dalí, accessible through a replica of his famous "Lobster Telephone" sculpture. This year, museum patrons have the rare opportunity to interact with an AI version of Dalí, delving into the depths of his life and artistic vision. Through this immersive encounter, participants can pose questions ranging from inquiries about Dalí's celebrated paintings and prints to seeking surrealistic insights on love and creativity. Developed through a collaboration between Goodby Silverstein & Partners and the Dalí Museum, the AI Dalí leverages cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology. Powered by a sophisticated language model and imbued with Dalí's distinctive voice, this digital manifestation promises an engaging and immersive dialogue for museum visitors. Engaging with AI Dalí is an experience that mirrors the surrealist's own eccentricity. Visitors can interact by speaking into the receiver of the lobster telephone sculpture, initiating profound discussions on a myriad of topics. The AI Dalí, echoing Dalí's penchant for flamboyant expression, engages participants in conversations exploring surrealism, dreams, and existential themes, enriching the museum experience with a captivating fusion of art and technology. While the emergence of AI replicas of historical figures presents novel educational opportunities, it also raises ethical considerations surrounding consent and legacy preservation in the digital age. As technology continues to advance, it is imperative for artists and institutions to navigate these ethical challenges with integrity and sensitivity, ensuring the preservation of artists' legacies and the respectful treatment of individuals from the past in an increasingly digitized world. #ai #telephone #phone #aiforbusiness #salvadordal #salvadordali #salvador #dalimuseum #daliart #salvadordaliart #dali #IndustryTechOutlook #IndustryTechOutlookMagazine #ITO #IndustryTechOutlookBusinessLeadership #IndustryTechOutlookExecutiveInsights #IndustryLeaders #IndustryTechOutlookCorporateVision #IndustryTechOutlookLeadershipPerspectives #IndustryTechOutlookBusinessMagazine #ExecutiveEdition #CEOInsights #IndustryMagazine #IndustryTechOutlookLeadershipJournal #ProfessionalGrowthJourney 

Is an Ai exhibition diluting creativity or enhancing it?

"Van Gogh's AI Doppelgänger Engages Visitors at Musée d'Orsay" Vincent van Gogh's artistic legacy continues to captivate audiences well into the 21st century. His works not only remain celebrated but have also found their way onto various merchandise, including clothing and doormats, and even feature in the Pokémon gaming franchise. The Musée d'Orsay in Paris is further immortalizing Van Gogh through a unique initiative. They've introduced an AI-powered lifelike doppelgänger of the artist, named "Bonjour Vincent," who interacts with visitors, providing personal insights into Van Gogh's life and enigmatic death. Engineers crafted "Bonjour Vincent" by harnessing artificial intelligence, feeding it with information from Van Gogh's extensive correspondence and early biographies. This AI representation can converse with museum-goers, drawing from Van Gogh's own words. The AI often addresses queries about Van Gogh's death, a topic handled with care, steering responses towards themes of resilience. The creation of this AI doppelgänger was a thoughtful process, taking nearly a year of deliberation, according to Agnès Abastado, the museum's head of digital development. The project aimed to strike a balance between being culturally insightful and avoiding commercialization. While some art historians have expressed concern over Van Gogh's portrayal in popular culture, others acknowledge the appeal this AI has to a broader audience. The challenge of balancing historical integrity with public interest, especially among gamers, remains. Despite these debates, the museum is committed to continuing with the AI project, recognizing its popularity among visitors. As Abastado notes, "When it is Van Gogh, people like it." #vangoghaidoppelganger #museedorsayinnovation #chatwithvangogh #aiartinteraction #culturalaiexperience

It seems like a long time ago, but it was only a few weeks ago that Kaleidoscope held its first pop-up exhibition at Mana Contemporary in Jersey City. A true collaboration between the Artist, Kaleidoscope, and AI. All wrapped up in tangible products designed in-house at Kaleidoscope that are 100% made in the US, with sustainable US materials. What did the Artist say? - The ability to control the AI and see their work come to life was amazing - Being able to give all of their collectors and fans one-of-a-kind pieces of work was great - The quality of the pieces produced represented their work perfectly What did people say? - Fans loved that they could own something unique with the artist as a one-off piece - The quality of both the artistic output and products was great - Other artists loved that they could take their work into other product areas and make them unique - Fashion, homeware, and more. This is just the beginning. - People loved that we were the opposite of fast products. What did we learn? - Generative AI is not for everyone, but when put in the hands of an artist, beautiful things can happen. - The space between physical art and AI may feel vast, but once bridged, there are many exciting opportunities to create. - We fit at the intersection of the Artist, AI, and Craft. - Will people buy the collaboration? Yes! - Don’t remove the Artist. Follow us to find out more. And here is our setup! #AI #Art #Creativity #alltechishuman #Artists #Artistsfirst #Artists #newjesery #Jerseycity #ainewjersey #sustainable

Art and copyright law have always been on opposite sides, despite what some might claim. Copyright law is solidly on the side of the lawyers, curators and managers. You can argue that, like AI generated art, this can't be copyrighted because there's very limited intention behind the concrete pieces produced in this way. The same goes for aleatoric music, found sound, readymades and so forth and so forth. To an artist art is about context, or situation, to copyright law it's about product. It is my hope that AI will challenge this way of thinking even more so than sampling did in the 80s and 90s. People were outraged about plunderphonics, and called it cheating and theft. Those exact words are used about AI generated sounds, text and images today. But I've been alive long enough to see that today's outrage is tomorrow's orthodoxy. Copyright law is outdated, and was never made for the producers in the first place. Always the moneybags. That's never going to change, but there's room for improvement.
