ARTIST REFIK ANADOL TRANSFORMING DATA INTO ART WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Abstract

While discussing whether digital art shaped by technology is art or not, in recent years, artists have
created new, experimental and original works by using artificial intelligence in their works. For
example, while artificial intelligence was a painter's brush, it became the pen of a writer or poet,
became the notes of a composer, and offered an architect the opportunity to create simulation
spaces. While transforming technology into art, people who think, question and strive to produce
the best have had the opportunity and experience to perceive life and art in a new way.
In the digital world we live in, Refik Anadol is an artist who has been thinking about artificial
intelligence technology and has been producing experimental works since 2018. The artist
combines the data paintings and installations he creates with architectural structures by
transforming each piece of data he handles into color pigments.In this study, it is introduced and discussed how artificial intelligence, which is the product of
digital technology, science and engineering, is handled in an artistic context in Refik Anadol's
works
