Obvious Collective

The Obvious Collective is a group of friends, artists, and researchers, driven by a common sensibility regarding questions bounded to the increasing advent of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. One of their goals is to explain and democratize these advances through their artworks. Their project began a year ago with the discovery of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), which are Machine Learning algorithms that generate images. This technology allows them to experiment with the notion of creativity for a machine.

Is Artificial Intelligence set to become art’s next medium?

AI artwork sells for $432,500 — nearly 45 times its high estimate — as Christie’s becomes the first auction house to offer a work of art created by an algorithm. Is Artificial Intelligence set to become art’s next medium? This seminar gives insights into the exploration of the interface between art and Artificial Intelligence and the different ways machine learning algorithms can catalyze natural human creativity.
