AI Battle Open Call

AVE22 MetaGallery is delighted to invite artists to take part in “AI Battle” open call.

​OVERVIEW

Artificial intelligence (AI) is gradually becoming an integral part of our lives. Indeed, it is a source of fun to many people. Visionaries believe that AI will help us to work out eternal problems of the mankind. Others are sure that AI is a start of the way to nowhere, towards a digital apocalypse and global dystopia.

​We, as a gallery, would like to ponder on AI from the arts point of view. Will artists be replaced by AI? Will AI destroy the very notion of the arts?

What we are going to do is to ask the AI to make a picture with the same artwork name and the artist name as yours is. For example, we will ask it, "Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci" and will then post your artwork and, next to it, the one generated by AI. That should be fun! Let's see how the human and artificial intelligence interprets the same concept!

Please check out examples of the original and AI-processed artworks at the open call page (https://www.ave22.org/ai).

This covers the costs of the open call promotion.

Submission fees are non-refundable.

If you are unable to pay the submission fee, we are working at replenishing our collection, so we can accept your work as a gift to the gallery. In this case your work has to be saved as an NFT in Ethereum (ETH) network.
