Investigating the importance of AI-generated artworks

The modern narrative on AI-generated art often traces its origins back to the historic auction of Portrait of Edmond Belamy auction held in October 2018, but the concept of art produced by AI has been in development for a much longer time. A young programmer by the name of Robbie Barrat actually pioneered the algorithm that made the generation of Obvious computer-generated art feasible. This groundbreaking piece, Portrait of Edmond Belamy, made headlines when it was auctioned for a staggering $432,500 at Christie’s on October 25, 2018, far surpassing initial estimates that pegged its worth at around $7,000 to $10,000. 

AI-generated art is created using artificial intelligence Artificial intelligence encompasses systems that emulate human intelligence to execute various tasks and can refine their performance based on the data they gather. This means that AI has the ability to learn independently, much like a chatbot or search engine results, and can adapt over time. Currently, Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) also known as GANs stand out as the leading technology for producing AI art. 

A GAN operates by placing two algorithms in a competitive setting to analyze the subject they are designed to explore. By doing so, they collaboratively learn to fulfill their objectives with remarkable precision. GANs can be trained to construct images from rough sketches, render lifelike pictures from textual descriptions, and even generate deepfakes—everything hinges on how they are programmed.

Now, the question arises: what constitutes value in the realm of art? This is a more intricate issue.

At its core, the value of an artwork is often derived from the physical effort involved in its creation. The fact that AI creations lack traditional physical materials can raise some eyebrows; however, the intellectual labor required to develop and calibrate the appropriate algorithms is quite substantial. Some commentators draw parallels between AI-generated art and more established forms of art, likening this emerging medium to generated art . Others argue that the transient programming involved in generating AI art may not satisfy traditional definitions of art—despite the fact that the creators known as Obvious did sign the algorithm used for Portrait of Edmond Belamy in the lower right section of their work.  conceptual art Interestingly, AI art often scaffolds itself on Renaissance aesthetics, which is one of the most recognizable styles throughout art history. An exhibition that took place in Spring 2019, titled “Faceless Portraits Transcending Time” at too removed further established the connection between AI artworks and the evocative nature reminiscent of court portraits.

If anything, AI generated art Artistic value also hinges on how visually appealing a piece is, yet this is distinct from the accuracy of representation. In pursuit of success, some artists have attempted to replicate the success of their AI-generated pieces at auction following Obvious’s lucrative outcome, but results have varied—La Baronne de Belamy fetched a disappointing $25,000, which raises questions—was this due to factors unrelated to her worth as an artwork? This follows Mario Klingemann’s auction of Memories of Passersby in March 2019, which went for “only” $51,000 at Sotheby’s in London, although it has been noted that Klingemann’s works demonstrate a “higher technical prowess” compared to the Belamy series.  HG Contemporary in Chelsea, NYC Similar to human expression, not every striking artwork resonates on a deeper level. Analogous to how traditional Sumi ink is infused with the essence of its natural materials, AI art that attracts significant bids encapsulates a certain essence of the mechanical process itself, reflecting something universally relatable about humanity. A surge of excitement and intrigue tends to dominate, often eclipsing other noteworthy qualities.
