Why + AI + Art, Sveinn Fannar Jóhannsson

Why + AI + Art is a project created by artificial intelligence in collaboration with the artist. The boxed edition consists of 31 loose cards and attempts to challenge the self-reflection of the free research preview of ChatGPT. Starting out with the combination of three words: Why + AI + Art, Jóhannsson then used one phrase from each response to make a new combination, generating thirty sentences contemplating Artificial Intelligence and its possible role in the making of art today.

This artists’ edition is produced in the traditional format of the postcard, serving as a document from the early stages of the OpenAI language model as of January 2023.
