The gavel slams onto its pedestal and the audience bursts into applause. All around them, the gallery is buzzing with conversations from its many occupants, who mingle amongst the different paintings, photographs and sculptures that reside in this beautiful and luxurious endless white room. At the back, beaming with pride; stands Oscar Johansson. He’s the artist behind all this work… even though most of it was created by ‘something’ else.
‘The Exhibit’ is our new ‘Scripted Podcast’ written by Andrew Shaktah; which investigates how ‘Artificial Intelligence’ is increasingly being used to create new artistic works in a variety of fields. But at what point do the people behind the AI start to deserve as much credit as the artists themselves?
Hopefully this audiodrama raises some interesting questions and we’d love to know you own thoughts about this subject (and what this might lead to in the future) So please leave a comment below.
