Renowned artist Refik Anadol is pushing the boundaries of art with the integration of artificial intelligence (A.I.) into his creative process. Anadol believes that A.I. is not just a tool, but a vehicle for the imagination that can bring to life worlds that don’t exist.
According to Anadol, the technology we are currently dealing with is a form of intelligence that is constantly evolving and mimicking human reasoning. He envisions a future where A.I. will be designed from scratch to have the ability to see, hear, feel, and ultimately create a living form of art.
Anadol sees A.I. as a “thinking brush” that can remember anything and everything, and he is eager to collaborate with this technology in his studio. He views A.I. as a creative partner, capable of transforming the archives of humanity into unique works of art that go beyond traditional forms of expression.
His latest exhibit, “Echoes of the Earth,” is a testament to his innovative approach to art and technology. The exhibit, which was showcased at the Serpentine Galleries, was born out of a collaboration with the gallery’s artistic director, Hans Ulrich Obrist.
Obrist, who has been a pioneer in integrating technology into the art world, recognized the potential of A.I. in creating groundbreaking artistic experiences. He believes that museums and galleries should embrace technology as a means of expanding the boundaries of art and engaging with audiences in new and exciting ways.
Anadol’s work serves as a reminder that art and technology are not mutually exclusive, but rather can come together to create something truly extraordinary. As A.I. continues to evolve, it will be fascinating to see how artists like Anadol continue to push the limits of creativity and redefine the possibilities of art.
