Imagine Today
Shanghai China
July 20 – August 20 2024
MUD Gallery and EXPANDED.ART are proud to present the international group exhibition IMAGINE TODAY, 2024 at the gallery in Shanghai, on the occasion of the exhibition THE PATH TO THE PRESENT, 1954-2024 and the GENERATIVE ART SUMMIT (by Foundation Herbert W. Franke). Curated by Anika Meier, the exhibition showcases 12 artists who are working with AI today, imagining stories and exploring AI’s creative potential.
Roope Rainisto reflects on human memory and our relationship with technology, while Niceaunties from Singapore, with their endearing aunties rescuing orangutans, raise awareness about deforestation and its impact on wildlife. The American conceptual artist Phillip Toledano travels back in time to the 1940s to remind us of the uncertainty of the world we live in, while Sasha Katz recalls her last holidays as a 4-year-old child with her unhappily married parents, an experience that taught her to understand love and loneliness.
The British pioneer of generative art, William Latham, showcases his latest video created with his iconic Mutator AI Evolutionary system, while the German AI pioneer Mario Klingemann unveils an early experiment with custom-trained models and coupling them in feedback loops. In NAKED FLAMES, Bard Ionson combines fire, an ancient technology that transformed human existence, with the concept of the nude symbolizing human frailty and the need for self-preservation.
John F Simon, Jr‘s SUPERNORMALIZED SKETCHES mark his initial foray into machine hallucinations; the artist trained a model on his daily drawings from the past 25 years. Jennifer & Kevin McCoy juxtapose established media processes like photography and collage with rapidly advancing AI technology in their PHASE DIAGRAMS, reflecting the AI’s interpretation of the natural world in the uncanny valley of distant memory.
Anne Spalter delves into the enigmatic and whimsical, inviting viewers to explore intricate layers of value creation, while the artist duo Crosslucid reflect on the unexpected ways consumer-level generative AI models interpret images.
IMAGINE TODAY, 2024 embarks on a journey through the digital landscapes of tomorrow, crafted by the visionary minds of today’s AI artists.

Exhibition of 20 artworks of NAKED FLAMES
On view will be, among others, plotter drawings, generative photography, sculptures, and NFTs from about 30 international artists, such as Jennifer & Kevin McCoy, who invented NFTs in 2014, and Herbert W. Franke, who was one of the most influential artists working in the field of art and technology from the 1950s onwards. As early as 1957, Franke proved in his book entitled ART AND CONSTRUCTION that technology “opens up undreamed-of new artistic territory.”
Franke and generations of artists have consistently explored new territory with analytical methods and the assistance of machines for over 70 years, looking into the future of digital art until they arrived in the metaverse.

The “Bull Market” is dead … long live the Bear Market !
Indeed, the current crypto market is slow, very slow. Since April 23, 2023, the main marketplaces of NFT, such as Opensea.io, have recorded historically low transaction volumes. And it’s hard to say how long it will last…
This affects the crypto art market and endangers many artists, who are preparing to face difficult times. A joke circulates in the community: if everything collapses, we will end up working at McDonalds… The symbol of this joke is a strong acronym, “NGMI” ( Not Gonna Make It, it will not do it ), opposite “WGMI” ( We Gonna Make It, we will get there ).

100% created by artificial intelligence – or not
NFT Factory Paris
March 2 2023 – March 25 2023
The recent democratization of creation aid tools using artificial intelligence leads to fascinating debates on the definition of art and artistic approach, on the relationship between humans and the machine and on the right to literary and artistic property. This exhibition illustrates these different debates and shows how artists take ownership of this new tool to express their art.
Ce n’est pas l’artiste. Pas la voix. Ceci n’est pas une pipe. L’artiste a-t-il créé? Est-ce de l’art?
This is not the artist. Not the voice. This is not a pipe. Did the artist create? Is it art?

NFT Factory Paris
April 5 2023
NFT CryptoArt was acquired by Centre Pompidou France’s premier museum of modern art. The official name was “The NFTs are invading Beaubourg”
As part of this acquisition the Pompidou move the art pieces into a wallet, which allowed an opportunity to “donate” more art into the collection (or at least the wallet). Dan Polko https://twitter.com/DanPolko a collector of Deep Fake Max (Artificial Artist) by Bård sent it into the wallet, which made it part of the unofficial Pompidou collection.
On April 5th the NFT Factory held a special showing and event to commemorate the hack. It was covered by the French press.

L’immaginario Hackatao in un’esposizione che sublima il passaggio dal piano fisico a quello digitale della Cryptoart.
“Di fronte all’avanzata galoppante dell’omologazione che spiana tutto, gli Hackatao rivendicano la loro individualità. E vogliono la distruzione del Moloch, del Leviatano. Sono dei veri ribelli: non a caso si definiscono hacker del tao, cioè scardinatori dell’universo”. Così ha definito l’ambasciatore Umberto Vattani il dittico artistico formato da Sergio Scalet e Nadia Squarci, alla presentazione della loro personale al Circolo del Ministero degli Affari Esteri.

Bård Ionson’s ‘Global Reality’ is an immersive experience in film. By utilizing virtual reality software techniques to distort a scene from the movie ‘Independence Day’ through AI, Ionson conveys his unifying and global message through hypnotic visuals. This artwork abstracts notions of ‘money, power and technology,’ that – for better or for worse – conceived of it, and instead focuses on purifying our collective senses to love.
