International art gallery network Gagosian, which has a number of spaces in New York City, three London; two in Paris; and one each in Basel, Beverly Hills, Rome, Athens, Geneva and Hong Kong, has opened an exhibition of untitled works by DALL-E.
The exhibition is produced by Oscar-nominated film director Bennett Miller (Foxcatcher, Capote) who has spent the last few years making a documentary about AI. As part of his research, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, a documentary interviewee, gave him early beta access to DALL-E.
Many of of the images look like stylised – out of focus, grainy – vintage photographs and sometimes charcoal drawings, with enough detail that you know what you are looking at. Some suggest a significant moment in history is being depicted.
The issue of whether or not these are photographs because they weren’t taken by a photographer using a camera in the conventional manner raises its head again; is this “real” art and, as Dall-E generated rather than created the artworks, is Bennett Miller just a guide and a curator?
