Curated by artists Anna Dart and Roger Haus, AI Surrealism is the latest in a string of exhibitions and events<\/a> dedicated to showcasing and supporting artists who use AI art tools in their work. The international gathering is meant to serve as an embodiment of the advent of a new era in creative expression that merges surrealism with technological advances. The exhibition also coincides with Exquisite Workers<\/a>\u2018 third anniversary, a collective known for pioneering digital surrealism since 2020.<\/p>\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\u201cThe essence of surrealism is about exploring the subconscious, and AI technology taps into that same mysterious realm,\u201d Dart, Co-Founder of Exquisite Workers and co-curator of the upcoming exhibition, said in a press release.<\/p>\n
Dart\u2019s sentiment echoes the concept that AI art, like surrealism, is a manifestation of human imagination, often resulting in unexpected and remarkable creative outcomes. The works included in AI Surrealism encapsulate a wide spectrum of genres, including AI photography, AI animation, AI-digital illustration hybrids, and AI jewelry design, reflecting the ever-expanding horizons of artistic expression these tools engender. <\/p>\n
Pushing the artificial envelope<\/h2>\n
Haus, co-curator of the exhibition and an artist known for his NFT collections that feature a vintage-anime aesthetic<\/a>, emphasized the cultural importance of this artistic movement, saying, \u201cSurrealism has never been more important than it is today, and it offers a unique lens through which we can explore the integration of AI and blockchain technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n![\"Human](\"https:\/\/nftnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image16.png\")
