About the Work
Germany is the country with the second highest number of museums with a total of 6,741. The WAI – Woods Art Institute – as cultural place with a strong focus on contemporary art, aimed to introduce itself to a wider audience and break free from the limited perception of being confined to an "artsy niche."
Pablo Picasso once said that “The art that is not in the present will never be”. From prehistoric art to Picasso's Guernica to Banksy’s Street art, art has always reflected, in its unique way, the moment in which it was conceived. Today, thanks to the AI system DALL·E 2, it is possible to create art in no time.
THE IDEA:
Launching a real-time art exhibition in which artworks represented the most relevant world events.
Through social listening, it was possible to identify the most prevalent keywords related to the most relevant current topics. All this data was used to generate prompts in a natural language that were directly fed into DALL·E 2, with the input of museum curators (art technique).
Instantly, unique artworks were generated and released in different media formats back into to the world. Crafting this way, the most contemporary exhibition to date.
WHERE AND WHEN?
The 39 real-time art pieces were exhibited from September 19th to October 14th, 2022, in the Woods Art Institute’s galleries. They were also shown in WAI’s social channels (Instagram, Twitter and TikTok) as well as over 700 digital billboards across Germany.
