integrating AI within digital graphics, exemplify the evolving
dialogue between artistic craftsmanship and algorithmic
precision. Similarly, Mario Klingemann, a German artist
working with neural networks, creates works like Memories
of Passersby I, which generates an infinite stream of
unique portraits in real time, challenging traditional notions
of authorship and temporality. Refik Anadol, famed for
immersive, data-driven installations, produces breathtaking
visual environments, such as Machine Hallucination, that
blur the boundaries between the physical and digital worlds.

Meanwhile, AI artist Anna Ridler curates datasets for her
works, including Mosaic Virus, which explores historical
Dutch tulip mania and its parallels with modern financial
bubbles. Suzan Valois uses AI platforms like Midjourney to
produce thousands of surreal, boundary-pushing creations,
reflecting the growing experimental nature of machine-
generated art. Josh Gottsegen, with The Tropland Universe,
has introduced an AI-generated franchise featuring
whimsical characters and vibrant imagery that captivates
viewers.
