What is the relationship between art and artificial intelligence (AI)? Can AI become a tool for the contemporary artist? Does AI look at a painting the same way we do?
Professor Luc Steels has conducted research on Flemish painter Luc Tuyman's artworks, which were on show during Tuymans’ prestigious 2019 La Pelle exhibition at Venice’s Palazzo Grassi. Several AI techniques were used to dive into the artist’s creative process, and ultimately support Tuymans and other artists in their visual research or artistic decisions.
A more comprehensive explanation of this process can be read in the article "Luc Tuymans through the Lens of AI" available on the MUHAI project website. Luc Steels is MUHAI project Scientific Coordinator for Venice International University.
The results of this investigation were presented at the exhibition SECRETS, held at Bozar Brussels from April 3 to May 2, 2021.
