Continuing a trend that has been controversial among filmmakers, a new Andy Warhol documentary series, coming to Netflix next month, will resurrect the Pop artist using artificial intelligence. In the show, Warhol can be heard reading from his diaries. That voice, however, is not the artist's own but rather the product of AI made to sound like him. Andrew Rossi, who created the series, titled The Andy Warhol Diaries, undertook this unusual measure with the Andy Warhol Foundation's permission, according to a trailer released by Netflix on Wednesday. The series also portrays the AI-generated narration as something Warhol himself would've wanted.

"I don't think you'll ever figure [Andy] Warhol out, and I hope no one ever does," art critic Donna de Salvo says in the trailer for Netflix's upcoming docuseries, The Andy Warhol Diaries. Ironically, though, it is that very series--with the help of Warhol's diaries and some artificial intelligence--attempting to do just that. The Andy Warhol Diaries, a six-part series from super-producer Ryan Murphy will explore the life of the artist, from his birth in Pittsburgh to Austria-Hungarian immigrants to his immense fame, various relationships, and eventual death. For over ten years beginning in 1976, Warhol would often call up his longtime friend, journalist Pat Hackett, and dictate his diary to her, which she later edited and published in 1989. Now, Murphy and director Andrew Rossi are using Warhol's own words, and the testimonials of everyone from John Waters and Debbie Harry to Rob Lowe, to dive into the still-mysterious life of the icon.

Ryan Murphy has produced a six-part documentary series about Andy Warhol that premieres on Netflix on March 9. If you're interested in art, culture, or the American temperament, you'll probably find something in "The Andy Warhol Diaries," which is directed by Andrew Rossi. Among those interviewed: John Waters, Spike Lee, Rob Lowe, Julian Schnabel, and Debbie Harry. The series has constructed Warhol's voice with the help of artificial intelligence, and we will hear that voice reading passages from his diaries. Beginning in 1976 until days before his death in 1987, Warhol dictated his diary entries on the phone to journalist Pat Hackett, and they were published in 1989.
