Ever since Refik Anadol's successful exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 2022/23, the Istanbul-born, Turkish-American media artist has been celebrated as the new shooting star of the art world. For his so-called " Data Paintings", he feeds an artificial intelligence with different types of data, which then generates abstract, highly aesthetic video creations. For his work "Unsupervised - Machine Hallucinations" exhibited at MoMA, and the reason why he became world-famous overnight, he used the museum's more than 200 years of art and visual history as a starting point. The work was accompanied by the question: “What would a machine dream about after seeing the collection of The Museum of Modern Art?”. The work is now part of the museum's renowned collection.
For the "Pacific Ocean" series, Refik Anadol draws on data from wind forecasts of the Pacific Ocean and has his AI process them. The result is a 16-minute video loop in which fluid color formations in all imaginable shades of blue and turquoise move across the screen and evoke associations with wave movements or water vortices. Refik Anadol fascinates his audience not only with the extremely media-suitable aesthetics of his AI-based artworks, but also with his innovative use of future-oriented technologies. In an artistic way, he gives us an idea of how artificial intelligence is able to influence our perception of a wide range of topics and what capabilities are conceivable for the future in the creative field in addition to their previous areas of application in search engines or chatbots.
