They said photography wasn’t art. They said cinema wasn’t art. They said video games weren’t art. Now they say AI arts/digital art isn’t art. I’ve spent over a decade with my studio team turning millions of data points into living, breathing artwork experiences ethically — at MoMA, at the Guggenheim, at the Venice Biennale. Not because a machine told me what to create, but because I had a vision that no traditional tool could realize. Denying all AI technologies as an artistic medium doesn’t protect art. It limits it. The artists who embrace new tools don’t replace the old masters — they join them. Art is not defined by the brush. It’s defined by the intention, the emotion, and the courage to see the world differently.

Glenn Lowry: "[Anadol] wrote some algorithms that allowed the data from one object to evolve into the data of another object to become yet a third object or a fourth object never before seen... people found it deeply satisfying." Former Director of MoMA, for 60 Minutes.

When you think about the way art is created, you might imagine painters, photographers, or sculptors immersed in their work at their studios. But what about a person sitting in front of a computer screen using artificial intelligence and data to create visuals. Is that art? cbsn.ws/46OFUB2

How did visitors react to a work of AI art at New York’s Museum of Modern Art? “It was an utterly extraordinary hit,” says Glenn Lowry, who was MoMA's director at the time of the exhibit. cbsn.ws/4qU9PPF



Pulitzer Prize-winning art critic Jerry Saltz says most AI art still falls short, calling 90% of it “crap.” But then again, “90% of the art made during the Renaissance was also crap," Saltz says. "Things take time.” cbsn.ws/46kxbGy

While some are skeptical of AI art, former MoMA Director Glenn Lowry says it might be misunderstood. He compares it to the invention of photography 200 years ago. cbsn.ws/4tR1eQ6
