Artificial intelligence brings Gehry's Guggenheim to new life!

Refik Anadol, a highly decorated pioneer of digital art, causes a stir with two spectacular exhibitions that shift the limits of art and technology. His latest creation in Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao is a digital reinterpretation of Frank Gehry's famous architectural work. Anadol presents a 16-minute audiovisual installation that was created with a specially developed AI model. Visitors can make an immersive journey through living colors and moving forms that create the feeling of floating in a gigantic techno lava lamp. This innovation should not only entertain, but also bring the fascination of AI art closer to the audience and at the same time initiate a new era of artistic forms of expression.

aesthetic surfaces and technological championship

In parallel, Anadol shows in Kunsthaus zurich "Unsupervised", which impressively demonstrates the skills of AI and machine learning. Here Anadol transforms data from the house of the house into liquid, changing visual spectacles. Despite the impressive aesthetic representation, the lack of intellectual depth is criticized in criticism. The works ask for thought, but offer hardly any substantial disputes with the ethical and social issues associated with the use of AI.

While Anadol in Bilbao tries to create new dimensions of experience with his art and to inspire a young audience, the criticism in Zurich is that his work should offer more than just visual effects. The use of algorithms often remains on the surface and does not provoke deeper reflection on the cultural and social implications of digital art. Anadol celebrates the technology, but this uncritical view could be considered problematic, especially in a world that demands new perspectives and critical insights.
