Unsupervised
Refik Anadol
A wall-sized moving painting at MoMA, generated from the museum's own collection and reacting to light, sound and movement in the lobby.
Why it is not slop. An AI artwork about the archive it was trained on, shown by the institution that owns the archive. The data has a face.
Portrait of Edmond de Belamy
Obvious
The first AI-generated artwork sold by a major auction house: a blurred portrait signed with the model's loss function, sold at Christie's for 432,500 dollars.
Why it is not slop. A landmark more than a masterpiece. It forced the art market to decide whether a chosen output is a work, and the credit dispute over the borrowed code is part of the lesson.
Sunspring
Oscar Sharp & Ross Goodwin
A nine-minute film whose screenplay was written entirely by a recurrent neural network and performed straight by human actors.
Why it is not slop. A deliberate experiment with the machine's incoherence, made before the hype, and still funnier than most AI films since.
