“Artists embracing new AI,” group show, Guelman und Unbekannt Gallery, Berlin

exactly.ai has collaborated with Guelman und Unbekannt Gallery in an exhibition titled, "Artists Embracing New AI," which opened on August 10, 2023.

The role and legitimacy of art created with AI remain contentious. Nevertheless, AI tools are increasingly being adopted by professionals in the art world. This exhibition highlights AI as an innovative medium that encourages artists to experiment. The chosen 30 artists, who are all novices in machine learning, are keen on exploring the potential of this technology and integrating it into their work organically.

The exhibition scrutinises this artistic exploration, its diverse forms, and its impact on our perception of art as modern technology propels us into uncharted domains. It incorporates works from various genres by artists who have exploited AI to extend their creative boundaries. By merging human creativity with machine intelligence, these artists provide a sneak peek into the promising future and the ongoing transformations.

The curators aimed to demonstrate how artists employing traditional, contemporary, and digital art forms incorporate AI into their creative processes. Using exactly.ai, a platform that produces images with a personalised aesthetic, artists have found innovative ways to express their vision and enhance classic techniques and practices.

Visitors are encouraged to reflect on how contemporary artists incorporate AI into their work and contemplate its potential as an aid for generating ideas or preliminary sketches, a co-creator, or a tool for producing artwork.
