Aida; An artist without experience

In the world of contemporary art, there is a place for endless innovations, and one of the biggest challenges is the introduction of artificial intelligence into a field that was previously handled only by humans. The paintings of Aida, the robot artist, are an example of these technological innovations that have made everyone think. Are these works of art real?

Can artificial intelligence be recognized as an artist in the future? Adel Haroyan, painter and researcher of contemporary art, shared his views with us in a conversation about the impact of artificial intelligence on art and Aida’s position as a robot artist.

A new concept of art

In the world of art, concepts and ideas have always been the first step in creating a work of art. Aida, as a painting robot, not only uses complex algorithms to create her works, but also displays a special and different concept of art.

“Adel Haroyan” believes: “Aida’s paintings can be known as an example of new art, but this art requires a deeper thinking on a philosophical level. The main question is, do Aida’s paintings have the ability to convey the same human emotions and experiences that human works of art are known for?

Art or marketing?

Aida’s paintings, which are sold at auctions and galleries, have attracted a lot of attention not only for their artistic value, but also for their appeal and innovation in new technologies. Heroyan pointed out: “The sale of these paintings is more because of the marketing and media aspects behind these works than because of their artistic content. In fact, Aida’s acceptance as an “artist” is more a result of the presentation and introduction of these works in the modern world than the result of her works being artistic. This shows that today, even in the world of art, marketing plays a very important role.”

The future of art with artificial intelligence

The future of art in the world of artificial intelligence is still unclear and full of unanswered questions. Heroyan believes that artificial intelligence can serve as a useful tool for artists in the future, but not as a replacement for them.

“This technology can contribute to the creation of innovative works of art, but it can never be literally ‘artistic,'” he noted. In fact, artificial intelligence only gives the artists who use it new tools and possibilities to create works. For this reason, Ida cannot be considered as an independent artist, but rather as a new means of creating works of art.”

Finally, Aida can be recognized as a representative of a new age in the art world. This robot, using artificial intelligence, creates art in a different way than humans, and in this process, displays a new concept of art. Haroyan added: “These concepts, which are often automatically generated by artificial intelligence, can potentially become a part of art history in the future, but the question remains whether this type of art can be recognized as original art. To be or not.”

In any case, what seems to be the case is that Aida and her ilk, while they may not be able to fully and emotionally understand art, certainly raise new questions in their audience’s minds that need to be answered. .
