Join the Whitney Museum of American Art for a conversation inspired by the exhibition Harold Cohen: AARON, which traces the evolution of the earliest artificial intelligence (AI) program for art making, on view at the museum through May 19. Artists Beth Coleman, Bennett Miller, Mimi Ọnụọha, and David Salle—who all use AI in their respective practices—will present short presentations on their working methods and tools, and the Whitney’s curator of digital art, Christine Paul, will lead a moderated discussion on how AI can enable new forms of creativity and artistic agency while also addressing its corporate structures and critical blind spots. The in-person event can also be attended online.

Gagosian, Beverly Hills
Join Gagosian for a conversation between Bennett Miller and Michael Govan, CEO and Wallis Annenberg Director of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, inside the artist’s exhibition at Gagosian, Beverly Hills, featuring new AI-generated prints. The pair will explore the connections between the emergence of artificial intelligence and the history of the photographic image, as well as discuss the inspiration and process behind the prints on view and their dialogue with the contemporary landscape. Created with a DALL•E image generator, these melancholic images pose questions around the contingent and enigmatic nature of perception.
