MoMA: ‘Unsupervised-Machine Hullucinations-MoMA’ by media artist Refik Anadol

MoMA is presenting ‘Unsupervised-Machine Hullucinations-MoMA’. Turkish media artist Refik Anadol(b. 1985) has developed AI that reinterprets the collection of MoMA’s 200-year art history to create dreamy mechanical images.

A huge screen installed in the lobby of the museum showcases the AI-produced images, which continuously change reacting to the light, the movement of the audience, the sound environment, and the weather. The work creates eye- catching spectacle. Though MoMA explained that the reinterpretation of this AI suggests a creative prediction of “What is next in modern art?”, the New York Times critically declared that to expect an AI to lead the next generation of the avant-garde is unreasonable.

Anadol collaborated with Google and Microsoft to carry out several interactive projects, and this MoMA exhibition is his first entrance into the museums. In recent years, he has earned himself a distinctive position in new media art where AI, NFT, and Immersive Art are predominant interests.
