GENERATING ART

Learning to make pictures with AI — and understanding the art behind them.

Art has always changed when new tools came along.

We're living through another one of those moments.

Generating Art is an exploration of what happens when today's image-making technology meets the ideas, traditions, artists and techniques that have shaped art for centuries.

We'll look at how artists made pictures before AI, why particular styles became important, and what happens when we try to recreate or reinvent those ideas today.
