Artists in Conversation: Brian Gothong Tan and Michael Lee The idea of generative art spawned off the backs of AI has attracted controversy of late. Yet, artists are exploring AI as tools for their artistic work. Brian Gothong Tan, known for his works in theatre, film and large-scale outdoor multi-media installations such as “Tropical Traumas” for the Singapore International Festival of Arts (2016) has done exactly that. For #Metazomia, his recent work for T:>Works Artistic Atelier, he created images entirely with AI. In the process, he generated close to 1000 images of which less than 100 images are specifically curated for the eventual show, now on at 72-13.
