Really modern art: An AI art exhibition secured by NFTs
Live MintTerrain.art, a blockchain-powered digital platform that focuses on art from South Asia, has curated Intertwined Intelligences, an exhibition featuring contemporary works that push the envelope on our understanding of art. It showcases the work of six artists—Pindar Van Arman, David Young, Scott Eaton, Harshit Agrawal, Sofia Crespo and Feileacan McCormick—pioneering “AI art” and has been curated by Agrawal. Agrawal explains that each artist has used AI to imagine alternative realities of common natural subjects, themes that might be considered “passé” in mainstream art today but have been re-imagined and re-interpreted. Sofia Crespo and Feileacan McCormick of Entangled Others Studio train their AI on hundreds of insects to imagine new insect creatures, generating novel 3D forms and functional descriptions of their various body parts. Humanity Second State by Scott Eaton Sofia Crespo works with datasets of labeled drawings of various life forms found in nature to imagine new representations with the help of her AI.
