What would America's top landmarks look like, reimagined by some of the most famous and controversial architects that have ever lived? An Instagram account, Imagined Architecture, created a stir with a'reimagined' White House designed by world-famous architects. With architects ranging from modernist genius Anthony Gaudi and British-Iranian'Queen of Curves' Zaha Hadid, Midjourney has reimagined everything from the Chrysler Building to the Statue of Liberty in typically surreal style. San Francisco-based Midjourney is a rival to OpenAI's Dall-E, which is now integrated into its iconic ChatGPT artificial intelligence chatbot. Like ChatGPT, it can be controlled by simple text prompts, and can generate everything from realistic photographs to paintings: it's controlled through the Discord chat app, and available to subscribers from $10 a month.

Since graduating in 2014 with a master of fine arts from UCLA's design media arts program, artist Refik Anadol has become a worldwide sensation known for exhibitions that harness state-of-the-art artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to create mind-blowing multisensory experiences. His body of work though, is much more than simply mesmerizing feasts for the eyes and ears; it addresses the challenges and possibilities that our ubiquitous computing has imposed on humanity. On April 19, Anadol's latest piece, "Moment of Reflection" will debut on campus, where he also serves as a lecturer in the UCLA Department of Design Media Arts. It was in that department, he learned from innovative professors like Christian Moeller, Casey Reas, Jennifer Steinkamp and Victoria Vesna, all of whom use digital technology to help reshape conceptions of art. "Using data is a scientific approach to something very soulful and spiritual," Anadol said.
