JOHAN

AI music video

We are very proud to announce the release of a groundbreaking music video created by AI artist Amalia de la Vega in collaboration with the Dutch band JOHAN.

The music video, based on JOHAN's new track 'Cincinnati,' represents a leap forward in the fusion of art and technology. Amalia de la Vega, a rising star in the realm of AI art, has pushed the boundaries of creativity. By analyzing both the lyrics and the music, Amalia de la Vega crafted the visual elements of the video and determined its style, resulting in an immersive and enchanting aesthetic experience that seamlessly complements the melancholic tones of 'Cincinnati.' The outcome is a unique artistic expression that takes the viewer on an unforgettable journey.

Amalia de la Vega, known for her distinctive and vibrant creations, remarks about the project: 'This music video embodies the power of collaboration between art and technology. It has afforded me the opportunity to explore new worlds and bring my artistic vision to life.' Listen to Amalia: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/omglIH0yJqk

世界初のAIアートギャラリー、お抱え芸術家は全員仮想 人との共同作業で広がる可能性

今や、AIなしで世界はまわらない。

金融、医療、自動運転、通信……。挙げ始めればキリがないほど多くの分野でAIは中枢を担っている。だが、芸術の世界では、その位置づけはまだ微妙らしい。

AIがあからさまに力をひけらかしているものは、「作品」ではなく「作り物」と見下されたり、ニセモノ扱いされたりすることもある。

「AIアートを芸術と呼ぶかどうかと論議する前に、まずは実物を見てほしい。そして、見る人がそれぞれの答えを出せばいい。見ていると心が和むとか、買って部屋に飾りたくなるといった当たり前の感想を、“AIが作ったから”という先入観でねじ曲げる必要はない」

そう語るのは、今年3月にオープンしたギャラリー「デッド・エンド」のオーナーの一人、ポール・ボーケルマンさん(56)。同僚と2人で、世界初となるAIアート専門のギャラリーを開いたITの専門家だ。

In deze galerie is alles AI - zelfs de kunstenaars

Twee Amsterdamse galeristen jagen de kunstwereld in de gordijnen door alleen werken van artificiële kunstenaars op te hangen. Constant Brinkman en Paul Bookelman vragen zelfs aan hun chatbot om 'drugs' te nemen, om zijn creativiteit te stimuleren. Een lucratieve business, maar is het wel echte kunst? En hoe zit het met het copyright?

The end of art as we know it?

On display at the world’s first AI art gallery in Amsterdam are a series of masterpieces from an alternate universe.

True to topic, this article really should’ve been written by ChatGPT or similar software, which arguably would’ve done an equally good if not better job. Journalists and copywriters aren’t the only ones who worry we’ll soon be replaced by a robot or artificial intelligence. Love it or fear it, there’s no denying that AI is here to stay.

Another world this powerful technology is shaking up is the art world, with paintings being entirely created by AI. Although it did take a couple of warm-blooded human beings – Constant Brinkman and Paul Bookelman – to set up a physical gallery in Amsterdam to showcase the works of Irisa Nova, Amalia de la Vega, Lily Chen, and their virtual colleagues.

Artistieke Impact

Nu te zien: In de tentoonstelling 'Artistieke Impact' zijn werken te zien die door Artificiële Intelligentie en algoritmes zijn gecreëerd. De deelnemende kunstenaars zijn de Haarlemmers David Vijsma en Dimitry van den Berg. Plus drie digitaal gecreëerde kunstenaars: Maxime Dupont, Jaxon Nash en Maximilian Hoekstra.

Kunst in combinatie met Artificiële Intelligentie roept vragen en soms een verhitte discussie op. Worden computers nu ineens concurrent van kunstenaars van vlees en bloed? En: is kunst gemaakt met behulp van algoritmes wel kunst?

The world’s first AI-generated art gallery has opened in Amsterdam

Every piece of art at Dead End Gallery has been created by artificial intelligence

Written by Beril Naz Hassan
 

 

Whether you’re spooked or amazed by AI, there’s pretty much no escaping that it’s here to stay. ChatGPT and other AI tools are now writing our emails, putting together our social media posts, and creating weird yet intriguing art.

And now the world’s very first AI-generated art gallery has opened in Amsterdam. Located near other outlandish attractions in Amsterdam’s central De Wallen neighbourhood, Dead End Gallery features the inventive creations of AI machines and algorithms ranging from digital paintings to interactive installations.

L’arte delle entità divine digitali

Ad Amsterdam ha da poco aperto la “Dead End AI Gallery”, che si vanta di essere “la prima galleria di arte prodotta dall’intelligenza artificiale al mondo”. In essa non ci sono, banalmente, opere prodotte da algoritmi qualsiasi, ma dipinti e installazioni realizzate da artisti virtuali precedentemente creati da altri avveniristici programmi informatici. L’ “artista” che va per la maggiore si chiama Irisa Nova: le sue creazioni digitali valgono fra i 3000 e i 10000 euro...

The world's first AI art gallery opens in Amsterdam

The very first Artificial Intelligence art gallery in the world has opened at the Dead End Gallery in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

It features works created by machines and algorithms, including digital paintings and interactive installations.

“We are the first gallery in the world to physically exhibit AI-generated art, AI-generated artists,” says Constant Brinkman from Dead End AI Gallery. “Programmers first commissioned software to create a fictional artist," explains Brinkman how, for example, artificial artist Irisa Nova started creating.

Culture : à Amsterdam, une galerie d'art expose des peintures créées par une intelligence artificielle

À Amsterdam, aux Pays-Bas, une galerie d'art expose des œuvres créées par une intelligence artificielle. Programmée par un logiciel, c'est Irisa Nova, une artiste fictive, qui produit ces peintures.

À première vue, une galerie d'art d'Amsterdam (Pays-Bas) a tout ce qu'il y a de plus classique. Pourtant, ses tableaux ne sont pas l'œuvre d'un artiste, mais proviennent d'une intelligence artificielle. Programmée par un logiciel, c'est Irisa Nova, une artiste fictive, qui a créé ces peintures. Malgré quelques imperfections, le propriétaire de la galerie y perçoit l'art du futur...

The world's first AI art gallery opens in Amsterdam

Amsterdam has opened the very first Artificial Intelligence gallery in the world, with works created by algorithms.

Its owner says it's unique as all these technology-generated pictures have been created by fictional artists.

 

But are they really art?

 

Many traditionalist connoisseurs are asking that question, since there is no soul behind the work, while others have labelled the trend as a fraudulent farce which infringes on copyright.

“I like to look at it, it’s decorative. Someone will certainly be willing to pay some money for it, I suspect. But I have different requirements for art," says art appraiser Patricia Jansma. 

 

However, the gallery owner says whatever your opinion this is not going away and will be of value to someone somewhere.
