Putting 'art' in artificial intelligence

Science and art intermingle as artist Anna Ridler's work displays digital tulips and drawings made by specially modified algorithms in the Robert L. Ringel Gallery in Stewart Center. Ridler's art collects data and generates data sets to create unique narratives, according to information displayed in the gallery. One side of the gallery displays blooming digital tulips created through artificial intelligence. For one of her pieces, she created "Bloemenveiling," a website to auction her digital tulips. Reflecting the Tulip Mania of 17-century Holland, Ridler's auction serves as a digital representation of the interaction between humans, technology and economic markets.
