Artists Holly Herdon and Mat Dryhurst are known for their pioneering work at the intersection of art, technology and AI. In their DLD24 conversation with Hans Ulrich Obrist (Serpentine Galleries) they share how they originally met, recording one of the earliest podcasts ever and what fascinates them about artificial intelligence, blockchain, digital twins and other frontier technologies.
An often overlooked aspect of AI is “all of the training data that goes into the models”, Holly Herndon argues. In their upcoming exhibition at London’s Serpentine Galleries they plan on “showing the training data as human-generated art making itself”, she says.
“We just operate under the assumption that all these [AI] models will be very, very good very, very soon”, Mat Dryhurst adds. “We’ve been saying for many years that all media or gestures needs to be understood through the lens of training data.”
