The Wizard of AI

Online launch: 22 November 2023

The Wonder-Panic condition: Alan Warburton’s ‘Wizard of AI’

From wherever we stand, none of us can ignore the vast impact of AI on artistic practice and the creative industries. Data as Culture invited one of the leading voices in the field, artist, animator, author, curator, and video essayist Alan Warburton, to create a new AI-generated work for ODI Summit 2023. His response, which premiered at the Summit, stunned everyone who watched it. Using technology unavailable before October 2023, the film is deeply insightful and humorous – prepare to make the phrase “wonder-panic” a part of your AI vocabulary. Settle down, grab the popcorn, and watch it for yourself.
