This article creates a cross section across artistic and artificial intelligence, providing the conceptual basis and examples of the implementation of the group exhibition project AI: All Idiots, which was part of the Other Knowledge exhibition series at the MeetFactory Gallery in Prague in 2021. The purpose of the project was to bring the subject of modern artificial intelligence to the attention of the general public while still being artistically stimulating. In lieu of the conventional strategy of curating a selection of artworks created by artists working with AI, we opted to start from scratch by gathering online digital copies of selected artworks by Czech artists, which served as a training dataset for our original AI software. The artists were also involved in the data’s interpretation. The experiment addressed the widespread use of AI for web content analysis, artists, curators, and the art community as a whole, as well as the question of whether AI operates as a source of information to generate stereotypical products that cannot do more than statistically confirm and continously repeat what is already known. The article sheds some light on the question of how art engages in a creative dialogue with a world co-created by digital technologies and learning algorithms with their own agendas, without falling prey to a mechanical confirmation of stereotypes. The source of artificial intelligence’s creativity draws from tuning expected and unexpected patterns and schemas. Like a sensitive photographic material, the architecture of art’s hidden structures is gradually revealed, intensifying the characteristics of the prejudices and habits we connect with art. If art is defined as revealing the invisible, then artificial intelligence is a useful artistic instrument.
