Robbie Barrat “AI is going to be one of the larger art movements of this century,” artist Robbie Barrat told Dazed earlier this year. We put forward the notion that ‘if we wish to change the future, we must change the weather.’” “Dronestagram” is another Bridle project that uses AI to expose politics. “I try to engage with futuristic and also ancient materials in a non-linear way, while creating spaces and devices that may carry us to parallel worlds.” Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst The artwork for Berlin-based AI musician Holly Herndon’s latest song “Godmother” was as disturbing as an Aphex Twin album cover.
