Trend of Art in the Next Century by AI
I asked ChatGPT4 to forecast the trend of art in the next century. Here the nine trends of art.
TechArt
Technological Integrated Art, often referred to as TechArt, is a captivating genre that seamlessly merges technology and artistic expression. It encompasses a broad spectrum of creative practices that harness the power of technology to enhance, transform, and redefine the artistic experience.
In this innovative field, artists leverage various technological tools, such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), robotics, artificial intelligence, and interactive installations, to push the boundaries of traditional artistic mediums. By fusing the realms of art and technology, TechArt not only creates visually stunning and thought-provoking pieces but also challenges our perceptions and engages us in new and exciting ways.
(Tae Art Man: This is clear because we can see the progress of AI happening every day. It’s important to note that the development of AI for creating art has been going on for many years, but the growth of AI in this field has been exponential. Currently, we are witnessing the rapid increase in the popularity and utilization of AI in art within a short period of time.)
“Digtal Harmony”
Description: “This artwork represents the fusion of digital technology and human creativity. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns suggest a complex, interconnected digital network, while the human-like figure at the center represents the role of human creativity and emotion in this digital landscape.“
Space Art:
As space exploration advances, it might inspire a new genre of art that depicts or is influenced by outer space, possibly even art created in space.
Tae Art Man: This trend is indeed possible because currently Elon Musk, Jeff Koons, and Yusaku Maezawa, who broke auction records for Basquiat’s artworks, are collaborating to send art pieces from Earth to the Moon.
“Cosmic Confluence”
Description: “This artwork represents the image of Galaxi Nebula (a group of gas and dust in space) and the form of a human filled with bright light. It reflects the harmonious synergy between advanced culture and technology, which enables humans to explore outer space and create boundless possibilities in the realm of art.”
Adaptive and Personalized Art
In the future, it is possible that we may encounter artworks that can shape and transform their appearance according to the preferences of the viewers. The viewers’ influence may impact the form and style of these artworks through interactive interactions. This could be achieved through data collection and processing, where AI predicts what might appeal to the viewers. Feedback from the viewers could be used to further develop and refine the artwork’s form using algorithms such as Reinforcement Learning.
(Tae Art Man: This idea is possible based on the assumption that AI could gather and process data to create interactive artworks that are tailored to viewers’ preferences. Feedback from viewers could be utilized to enhance future artworks using the reinforce machine learning algorithm.)
“Visual Symphony”
Description: “This artwork is a video that continuously transforms according to the viewers’ desires. Each element of the artwork moves and interacts harmoniously to create a personalized viewing experience for each individual. The intention is to provide a unique and tailored experience for each viewer.”
(Tae Art Man: In this artwork, the reinforcement machine learning algorithm may require the use of certain devices, such as VR glasses, to gather data such as our facial expressions and eye movements while we are watching the VDO Art. It may also involve capturing our listening history, video-watching habits, and other information from our digital footprint.Once the data is collected, the VDO Art can be adjusted to align with our preferences. For example, in the case of sculptural works, they may be able to change their shape autonomously based on factors such as our touch pressure, the area of contact, or the time we spend interacting with them.)
Participation Art:
Due to the advancement of technology and the high-speed internet, people from all corners of the world can collaborate and create artworks together without physically meeting in the real world.
(Tae Art Man: This scenario can already be observed in the world of Crypto Art and NFTs, where individuals can come together and create collaborative works based on shared ideas without ever meeting each other in person. Furthermore, if they wear VR glasses and enter a multi-user platform, assisting each other in sculpting models or real-time collaborative drawing could become a reality. Once completed, they could order 3D prints, making the art accessible to every household. Each team member, artist, and collector may be located in different parts of the world, existing in different time zones.)
“Installation of Interactivity”
Description: “The future of art installation where each component provides opportunities for people to collaborate in designing and arranging it. Emphasizing collaborative work experiences as the main focus, the visuals and objects in this artwork can be modified or adjusted through remote control.”
Art on Social Movement
Art will increasingly be used as a form of expression in protests and social movements to enhance awareness of various demands, such as politics and the environment. In the future, we can expect to see more of this type of art being utilized continuously.
(Tae Art Man: Indeed, this concept has been around for a long time and is becoming more evident. Artists themselves are actively participating in various activities and movements within society. Throughout history, many artworks have been chosen as symbols of movements, such as Frida Kahlo’s paintings becoming a representation of the Queer movement, or more recently, stickers depicting a sun being used to challenge oppressive regimes in certain countries. Artists have played a significant role in amplifying and supporting social causes through their art.)
“Installation of Inclusivity”
Description: “Symbolic art installations serve as a virtual space for people from all walks of life to express themselves and engage in discussions about various societal issues. Each person’s perspectives and opinions are merged within the framework of a future society where art supports heightened awareness of social problems.”
Sustainability Art:
With the growing global focus on the environment, we can expect to witness artworks that utilize recycled materials and environmentally-friendly creation processes. Artists are becoming increasingly aware of the materials they use in their artwork, striving to incorporate sustainable practices that have minimal impact on the environment. This shift in consciousness is leading to a rise in artworks that prioritize environmental preservation and highlight the importance of sustainable materials.
(Tae Art Man: I think this is a global-scale concept that has been increasingly popular, not only in the art world but also in the business sector where there is a growing emphasis on using materials for the environment and developing sustainable production methods. It has become a cultural mindset, particularly among the younger generation, who are increasingly concerned about being eco-friendly.)
“Sculpture of Synthesis”
Description: “This artwork represents the fusion of AI, art, and sustainability by using recycled materials and designing it with the assistance of AI. It symbolizes a future where art and technology coexist harmoniously with the environment, emphasizing the importance of sustainable practices.”
Art will become more liberated, breaking cultural constraints:
Artists will experience greater freedom of thought, particularly in terms of not being confined by their nationality or geographical region when deciding what kind of artwork to create. Additionally, marginalized male artists and those who have received less support will be more likely to receive increased recognition and support. This will lead to the emergence of new perspectives and innovative artistic techniques in the art world.
(Tae Art Man: This concept sounds similar to the ideas behind the upcoming Venice Biennale 2024, which was just announced recently. It’s a fascinating coincidence.)
ผลงาน “LGBT+ Aesthetic”
Description: “This artwork reflects the social movement of the LGBT+ community. Its vibrant colors and shapes symbolize the inclusive and joyous nature of a society that embraces diversity, excitement, and happiness. It represents the freedom to live authentically and celebrates the vibrant lives of individuals within the LGBT+ community.”
Experiential and Immersive Art:
Art derived from visual and auditory experiences will transform into art that allows viewers to have more interactive experiences. Whether it’s immersive art forms that engulf the senses or the incorporation of virtual technology to create novel experiences, the artwork invites viewers to participate and engage.
(Tae Art Man: This doesn’t have to be 100 years from now. The concept of immersive art, offering a 360-degree art consumption experience, has been popular for over a decade. It seems to have a promising future, with an increasing number of such exhibitions taking place worldwide.)
“Vivid Vision”
Description: “This artwork involves the installation of vibrant colors and shapes, creating an enigmatic environment akin to a neural network’s dream, representing continuous transformation, movement, and responsiveness to the viewer’s surrounding experiences, including visual, olfactory, auditory, and sensory perceptions.”
Traditional Art and Conservation:
As new advancements in technology and contemporary ideas emerge, society establishes itself and demands greater preservation and conservation of traditional art forms.
(Tae Art Man: Personally, I appreciate AI’s promotion of these ideas. Throughout history, whenever new advancements arise, there is a resurgence of interest and efforts to conserve and preserve older art forms. It’s a positive aspect that allows people to observe progress and gain more opportunities to learn about various information over time.)
“Abstract Ascendancy”
Description: “This art installation attempts to digitize itself into the digital era. Its surface is made of an intricate network of silicon threads (although they may not be visible in the image), symbolizing an impending future. However, the form also reflects the reminder of embracing the origins of original and classic elements amidst the digital age.”
All of these artworks are part of the predicted trends by AI, and all the artworks were created in ChatGPT4 (using a plugin called Argil, which is powered by OpenAI’s Dall-E model, the same technology behind ChatGPT).
What are your thoughts on this AI-generated art prediction? How do you think art trends will evolve in the next 100 years?
“Dimensional Warp”
“This artwork represents the passage of time along with the amalgamation of AI art and modern technology seamlessly intertwined. It features an hourglass as a symbol.”
