Alexander Reben’s AI Am I? series reverses the traditional feedback loop between humans and machines by privileging AI as a creative entity. Within the series, each artwork is described by AI and then realized by the artist. A wall label accompanies each work, explaining aesthetic decisions as well as artistic intentions. However, this text, in addition to the artist name, birth location, and date are fabricated by a neural network. Reben installs this information next to the work, elevating it to the status of art historical text found on a museum label.
