AI-Powered Artwork at COZMOS Gallery in NYC

I'm pleased to have an AI art project on display at COZMOS Gallery on NYC's Lower East Side.

There's a lottttt of AI-generated art these days. This project tries to take a different tack: Instead of generating an image from a prompt, the AI invents the context for a (really uninteresting) real-world object.

The project uses a language model, a Raspberry Pi-powered display and a piece of silver duct tape.

The language model invented ~200 museum-style descriptions of a made-up artwork (the duct tape stuck to a wall) and those descriptions cycle through the Raspberry Pi display. The LLM's descriptions (IMO) are interesting, mostly fairly plausible (the Claude Monet one excepted), and kind of unsettling.
