< P > “increased intelligence” (increased intelligence), the name of the Sale, includes around twenty pieces and stands online until March 5. < P > Christie's, as well as its competitor Sotheby's, has already proposed objects designed with AI, but had never devoted an entire sale to this field of expression. < P >“AI has become more prolific in our daily lives,” said Nicole Sales Giles, director of digital art sales within the auction house. “More people understand the process and technology behind AI and therefore, are more quick to appreciate it in a creative context.” < P > The launch of The interface of AI generative Chatgpt, in November 2022, upset the perception of the general public with regard to artificial intelligence and open new possibilities of use for the greatest Number. < P > many models of AI now allow to generate, on simple request in everyday language, a drawing, an animated image or having the appearance of a photo .< P > But, in reality, the use of algorithms in the artistic environment is almost as old as IT Modern.
< P > Christie's thus proposes a work by the American Charles CSURI (1922-2022) dated 1966. < P >Among the pioneers of “computer art”, he distinguished himself using software to distort one of his drawings carried out manually.< p > “The artists of This sale uses AI as a complement to their existing artistic practice, “explains Nicole Sales Giles, the whole including canvases, sculptures, photos or giant screens displaying entirely digital works.
< P > Among the nails of the sale, “Emerging Faces” (estimated up to 250,000 dollars), from the American Pindar Van Arman, series nine paintings from a “conversation” between two models of Ia. < P > The first painted a face on a canvas and the second stops it when it recognizes a human form. < P >< Br >< Strong >– “Controversy and critical” –< P >The sale is not to everyone's taste and a petition has been put online to request its cancellation, without success. < P > Many of the submitted works “have been Created using known AI models for having used work protected by intellectual property law without authorization, “highlight the authors of this letter, which has collected more than 6,300 Signatures. < P > they believe that the event values this practice, compared to “massive flight of human artists”. < P > Several artists assigned to the courts, in 2023, of generative AI start-ups, in particular the popular platforms Midjourney and Stability Ai, accused of breaking the legislation on intellectual property. < P >Big name of digital art, and participating in the event with its animated creation “Machine hallucinations”, REFIK ANADOL defended the sale on X, claiming that “the majority of project artists use their own data and their own models” , without nourishing other works. < P > Signatory of the petition, the illustrator Reid Southern would like, a minimum, whether the parts that do not use their own software or their own data, a proportion he considers a third of the lots of the sale.P > 62 ~ “If they were paintings”, ordinary, he says, “and that there were a high probability that many of them be counterfeits, the product of theft or a questionable practice, it does not would be No ethical to proceed with the sale. “
< P >“I am not a lawyer in intellectual property law so I can say nothing about the legality of the process”, reacts Nicole Sales Giles, “but the idea that the artists are inspired by their predecessors is not new” . < P > “Any new artistic movement arouses controversies and criticisms”, argues the Specialist. < P > “Midjourney is developed using almost everything on the Internet”, raises the Turkish artist Sarp Kerem Yavuz, who used this software to compose ” Hayal “, also sold at auction at Christie's. < P > “There is so much information (used by the model) that you cannot violate the intellectual property right of a particular element”, he develops.< P > “flying one or two people would be bad”, replies Reid Southern, “but steal millions of people would be acceptable ? “, he wonders.
