By
Spencer Kornhaber
Summary
A feature article about artists Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst preparing an installation for the Venice Biennale, exploring the intersection of AI and art. The piece opens with a practical problem — their 3D-printed sand sculptures being too heavy for an antique palazzo — and uses this to frame a deeper discussion about how AI is reshaping artistic creation, ownership, and authenticity. The article examines the couple's belief that the future of AI in art doesn't have to be dominated by low-quality "slop" but can instead be meaningful and collaborative.
