Art offers a new alternative based on Artificial Intelligence, despite the denial of purists. The Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA) has the work Unsupervised, generated by IA, on display as part of the project of the artist Refik Anadol.
This work explores the aesthetics of data from collective visual memories, according to Anadol on its official portal.
I’m deeply honored and excited to announce our exhibition — Unsupervised opening on the 19th of November at MoMA! It’s a dream of many artists to have the opportunity to imagine, practice and exhibit for such an important institution that supports the creativity of humanity! pic.twitter.com/OR25D7wrYJ

DCGAN, PGAN and StyleGAN algorithms, trained on data sets, display unrecognized layers of external human reality.
“What would a machine dream about after seeing the MoMA collection?”, asks the institution in its presentation. “For Unsupervised, artist Refik Anadol uses Artificial Intelligence to interpret and transform more than 200 years of art at MoMA.”
How did Artificial Intelligence work to generate Unsupervised, the work exhibited at MoMA?
Artificial Intelligence is the attempt to recreate human intelligence in a machine or computer, based on machine and deep learning. Once you work on deep learning, no human intervention is required, only what is generated directly by the device.
Anadol has created a work of digital art that develops in real time, generating new and supernatural forms that envelop the viewer.
“It is a meditation on technology, creativity and modern art,” says MoMA. “As the sitter ‘walks’ through his conception of this wide range of works, he reimagines modern art history and dreams of what might have been and what might be to come.”
The exhibition of Unsupervised, by Refik Anadol, It is available on the 1st floor of MoMA until March 5, 2023. The work is organized by Michelle Kuo, curator of painting and sculpture, and Paola Antonelli, curator of architecture and design, with the assistance of Lydia Mullin.
