AIAIAI.AI: The Forgettable Art Machine by Matthias Oostrik 💥 Matthias Oostrik created this hybrid installation for RENDR utilising two of his existing artworks. The dystopian art installation inverts surveillance technology to provoke deviant behaviour. As visitors face The Forgettable Art Machine it captures their image, initiating a cycle of analysis, creation and destruction: Multiple AI systems describe the image with artistic prompts and computer vision models. From this data, a composition emerges, slowly transforming the visitors’ image into a generative A.I. image.
