The V&A’s gorgeous AI artwork projection explores the minds of human artists

The historical past of AI artwork has taken fairly a flip of late. On the one hand, AI artwork is now in every single place as a consequence of mass entry to AI picture turbines. However AI artwork can also be being taken extra severely within the artwork world itself.

Final week, a totally autonomous AI artwork offered at Sotheby’s. And tonight London’s esteemed V&A will host a projection of AI artwork sponsored the UK Nationwide Lottery. What on Earth is occurring?

Ouchhh additionally tracked individuals’ coronary heart charge knowledge so as to add one other layer to the paintings.
