A custom script feeds the daily headlines of news outlets from all over the world to Chat-GPT, one headline at the time. Chat-GPT is tasked with creating an idea for a conceptual contemporary artwork that fits the headline, with the catch to make it ironic, sarcastic or slightly hurtful (as it is fashionable in certain circles of the art world).
[ Insert Artwork Here ] is a real-time generative text work that reacts to daily breaking news. It seeks to alleviate the artist from their role of having to create work that deals with the complex actualities of the world in a suitable fashion.
The work premiered in its final generative form in summer ’24 in Kunsthalle Lucerne, Switzerland. During the 2.5 months, it generated 23’500 short concepts.
The work is editioned in time periods, so a buyer can acquire the outputs generated from news headlines over a specific time period. For example, the Canton of Zug acquired the edition “Summer ’24” for their collection and is in proud ownership of an arts installation with a duration of roughly 326 hours.
Disclaimer: Generated outputs are uncurated and do not reflect on the artist’s political ideologies.
