The boom in “immersive art” continues apace with the launch next year of the first permanent space dedicated to interactive digital art in the UK.
“The product of a long-term collaboration with Nasa, this exhibition uses artificial intelligence to reimagine two million publicly available images of space taken by NASA satellites and telescopes, and the International Space Station, capturing the deepest regions of outer space,” says a project statement.
“Anadol and his team collected 300 million nature theme focused data and used 1,742,772 images of coral from publicly available social media platforms and processed them with machine learning classification models,” according to Aorist.
The Coventry initiative reflects the ongoing trend for “experiential” art, especially among younger audiences, which involve experiencing large-scale digital extravaganzas that can be photographed and Instagrammed.
