A first in the art world: Sotheby’s sells a signed work by a robotic artist

Sotheby’s is the place to be for this unprecedented art event. This is indeed the first sale of a work (New Window) that was created by Ai-Da – a robot. Painter unlike any other. Ai-Da is a half-mechanical robot and half-poet that was created in 2019 by Aidan Meller. A British Gallerist. In collaboration with Oxford University researchers, a company specializing artificial intelligence, Ai-Da came to life. Ai-Da was named for Ada Lovelace. She is a British countess and the first person to recognize the potential of the Babbage Machine , which is thought to be the predecessor of computers.

Ai-Da is a pretty girl with cameras hidden behind her eyes, and a hairstyle that rebels against the rules. She wears overalls, from which a mechanical arm of extreme precision emerges. A computer-powered artist who can compose and create original work. Ai-Da does not just copy. Her algorithmic inspiration is used to observe, interpret and compose. The artwork on display from 31 October to 7 November is called god of AI(IA God). This creation is a tribute to Alan Turing – the father of computing. Ai-Da (New Window), explained that by honoring Alan Turing through my work . “I wish to honour his contributions to artificial intelligence and modern computing “.

Ai-Da Robot created a dark-colored abstract painting, 2,10m in height. Turing is reinterpreted by the cybernetic artist with broken features and mysterious tones, which question artificial intelligence’s legacy and future. I’m inspired Donna Haraway’s cyborg. By creating this portrait I hope to encourage a conversation about creativity. Ai-Da says that as the lines between man and machine become blurred, she is bringing these issues into the light. Ai-Da gave speeches in 10 Downing Street and the House of Lords

Is AI the new golden goose of contemporary art ?

Robots can they really produce art? Others see these robots as fascinating advances, but some would say that they lack soul. Ai-Da’s God of AI and the initial bid of $120.000 when the auction was first launched on October 31 shows for certain that her computer art has not been overlooked. The sale of this artwork could mark the dawning of an era where machines are as creative as humans. This is something we’ll keep an eye on, but also meditate on, especially as, on November 20, Maurizio, an Italian artist, will put a banana on a canvas covered in scotchtape for an astounding price of $1 million. You make the choice.
