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 examines how AI is transforming artistic creation, the challenges of physical installation (like 3D-printed sand sculptures too heavy for an antique palazzo), and the couple's vision for a future where AI enhances rather than degrades artistic expression. The article delves into broader questions about AI's role in art, moving beyond concerns about "slop" toward more thoughtful integration.
