"Ai-Da is an experimental artistic project initiated by the British gallerist Aidan Meller in 2019. Taking humanoid form, she has long made headlines for her unique A.I. mind that "sees" the world around her through cameras and powers her high-tech, robotic arm to make art. Ai-Da is currently one of the star attractions of "I'm not a robot," an exhibition exploring the ways in which robots will shape the architecture of the 21st century at Denmark's Utzon Center until October 18."
"Meller, who tends to dance around the question of how much agency Ai-Da takes in her creations but will admit that she works with a team of "assistants," said the building design emerged out of a back-and-forth discussions between the robot and his team. "This models how human artists work-sometimes they use their influences from past interactions with other people or past experiences, or sometimes they take on commissions," he explained."
Ai-Da expanded from painting into architecture with an A.I.-generated, retro-futuristic design displayed in Denmark. The envisioned studio home is a smooth-edged pod wrapped in sweeping, curved windows, conceived for space exploration and co-living by humans and humanoids. The aesthetic draws on 1950s and 1960s space-age optimism. The project emerged through back-and-forth interactions between Ai-Da and a team of assistants led by gallerist Aidan Meller. The design models collaborative artistic processes and prompts reflection on the human condition as robots become increasingly incorporated into daily life and living spaces.
