“Behind me now, we are watching these corals that are not real but look very real. In this project specifically, AI trained on 100 million coral images and unfortunately, the current climate change is damaging all the corals. But the question is, can we use AI to preserve our memories?”
5. Display describing how the art is created
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Refik Anadol, new media artist:
“I always heard this concern about, is it human art? Is it AI art? Visual art? I think there’s a very common problem for anyone pushing the boundaries of imagination, anyone pushing for breakthroughs and pioneership with these new tools.”

15. Various of Sukanya Sarkar, artist, painting in her home studio
16. SOUNDBITE (English) Sukanya Sarkar, artist:
“There are artists who paint for months and weeks. But there’s always a difference between what is a hand-drawn painting versus an AI-generated (one). I’m hoping art lovers would differentiate that and buy art or think of art like: ‘OK, this is well thought through art versus this is AI-generated art.'”
17. Various of Sarkar painting in her home studio
18. SOUNDBITE (English) Sukanya Sarkar, artist:
“I feel they could improve some way. Like the art that was created was interesting but I would call it not mature. That would be my take on it. So engineers, get to work! That’s how I feel.”
