All those aesthetically pleasing visuals combined with that strange background music feels so mesmerizing. Such an exquisite feast from TED after a long time. Phenomenal piece of art and knowledge.
I spend hours a day on TH-cam watching videos like this, and yet this one video shook me to the core. The future has the potential to be so beautiful...
He is working in the fields of site-specific public art with parametric data sculpture approach and live audio/visual performance with immersive installation approach, particularly his works explore the space among digital and physical entities by creating a hybrid relationship between architecture and media arts with machine intelligence.
A truly unique and beautiful mind expressing a profoundly inspirational message about art. I will reflect on this talk as I prepare for my first major solo exhibition next year.
Refik basically takes very basic motion design principles and sells them as fine art. Many of his works are derived from very basic tutorials and plugins from C4D. Any motion designer or vfx artist can tell you that. At most he's a great salesman
I thought the same. Very gimmicky and I find all the final results to look random and meaningless. But the average person walking down the street who sees his installations will be impressed. He does a good job generated a "back story" for his rather superficial pieces imo.
@@kardelenkelek229 And here I was thinking being rich gave you some sort of advantage over the hundreds of thousands of other artists and creatives that don't even have money to buy food or pay rent let alone study in the best schools, have access to technology, materials, profesionals and specialists that could further your work. I'm so fucking dumb, so so fucking dumb. Stupid me! Sorry dude, I'm so sorry. Will you forgive me?! Please! I feel so bad. I'm just stupid...
It would be really helpful if this channel start adding more information about the speaker in the discription. (Information like qualifications,etc) Edit: Suggestions should be added for those who want to make career such extraordinary things.
Amazing, and vaguely unsettling. The ending, especially. This guy is like a younger, edgier, updated version of the Architect from The Matrix. He just needs to use words like "apropos" and "ergo" a few times and the effect'll be complete.
Several of these "abstract sculptures" like the ones you've seen in this video are easy to make with a software you can download for free and following tutorials you also find on youtube for free. Here the real intelligence is this guys who learned how to use this knowledge in this very fancy way.
Refik has definitely started the AI art movement. I love his work, and this TED talk just became the icing on the cake. I just love how he conceptualizes his works. Can't wait to experience this in person. ❤️🔥
I just saw and enjoyed the CNN video with artist Refik Anadol, and must comment, it is the first AI generated work that, in my opinion, the work is not producing abominations out of thousands of images Anadol used from the MoMa archive. That is, instead of generating a distorted and / or remarkable likeness (which is worse??) as a final result, all the artistic imagery being presented on the large digital display at MoMa, are pure abstracts with no visible recognition of the data the AI system was fed. In fact, regardless if the spectator is aware, or not, of Anadol's methods related to the use thousands of famous painting and photographic images, I argue, because the output having no signs of any of these images, has no bearing on spectator "appreciation" for the work. For me, my appreciation for his work is based on the seeming, very involved workflow process in collecting and feeding images into the artists system, that ultimately produced continuous regenerative abstracts. In itself, I find the work, that is, these AI generated abstracts, that never duplicate themselves, fascinating.
What a wonderful collection of trippy patterns and visuals, the swirling squares and the boiling, pixelated water, like taking a trip but without the drugs.
I'm seeing a lot of people they didn't understand, basically he grabs as much information as posible, like pictures, photos, videos and documents, and makes a representation of all that as art, letting a computer transform the information into a forever changing video
This is absolutely game changing. Imagine that everything that was posted online and collected as data, it can actually turn into visuals. This would be revolutionary for upcoming generations.
True success takes time. There will be decades where nothing happens, and all over sudden there will be weeks where decades happen. You can only do so much in one day, so stop beating yourself up. Be patient You will get all the things you want, but it's likely going to take a few more years than you first thought it would be. Take your time to master the skills, build up that connections with your mentors, and have courage to build something bigger than yourself. Happy hustling don't give up!
also, the technology that is used behind this glitter is quite simple. there are much more interesting things are happening now without such noise in the world
This is interesting in the visual point of view. As person that is really interested in arts and work with data I still miss some humanity on these pieces of work. I miss the intention of the creator, but that's not a critic on the craft, using machine learning is a means to the audience interact with the piece in a whole new way. What is underlying here is that I don't recognise the machine as being. I don't talk with Alexa, I use my voice and ears as interface with Alexa's system. Alexa don't have parents or a purpose of life. Alexa is product sold by Amazon so Amazon can sell me more products. Amazon do have intention, the machine can't have one. -- EDIT: I commented too soon. Beautiful work on Melting Memories, that's what I am talking about. :D
Hahaha exactly! He's created some beautiful imagery, but it seems to me that he's legitimizing it with all of this data collection. Its a respectable endeavor, but I don't think the end result is providing any concrete insight on whether or not and how an A.I. might dream or aspire to. Its essentially a means of form generation. It doesn't actually seem to matter that one of those millions of dots is technically at video of a girl crossing the Brooklyn Bridge. So the end visual is simple projecting his visual aesthetic. But someone correct me if I'm wrong.
My girlfriend has hyperthymesia. She remembers almost every single detail of life. Idk why but I feel like this and the amygdala being what processes and stores memories is something that needs to be looked at further
Because I have such a detailed brain that is so therapeutic to watch it gives my mind not much room to think about anything other than watching every single motion it's making
A talk that should have been 10 times longer. Absolutely stunning art. I do have to ask one question... If AI was programmed to dream, or spontaneously developed that ability - how would we know if it is equally capable of differentiating between dreaming and reality?
I took his class at UCLA. Refik is incredible
take my class too
I took his class too. Amazing

To go from leaving hand prints in caves to this. Humans have truly come a long way! Can't but imagine what the future holds

@@electron8262 its not within anyones grasp to have the basics of everything without a metric for what everything and the basics are.

Didn't get a single thing, but those visuals were mesmerizing

Would be interesting to see this technology work with some of the old master's techniques and perhaps portions of their paintings.
10:10 - 11:40 for his latest bragging rights, and he and his teams truly deserves it! What a goosebumps, these flowing artworks are beautiful...
All I can say is whoooooooaaaa. This artist and art is mind-blowing.
been to his pilevneli exhibition, it was something I can never forget. didn't wanna leave the building, ever.

In four words: very cool data visualisation
Word salad
People like Refik are so visionary, it's people like them that bring changes in our society.
For some unknown reason, this particular talk made me teary eyed as I watch it.
The most knowledgeable art piece rn.
Finally something to get me excited about the future! Mindblown.
Incredible! Future: fear and hope!
Great work!
These images are so calming.

Gracias @FlorenciaPotter por la recomendación 🌿

He give you a meaning for those basic motion design, concept it's more than just a complex motion design.

mashallah !
Good idea to include visual stimulation in a Ted talk . Keeps my short attention.
Data as a medium for art is one of the most interesting things I have ever seen.
What a wonderful collection of trippy patterns and visuals, the swirling squares and the boiling, pixelated water, like taking a trip but without the drugs.
I could used this as therapy for mental health, healing, etc.
Mind boggling. You have certainly done honour to Ridley Scott. Thank you

He is a rare light in this world. 💫💫
Im impressed Refik! This could help people visit places that they could never see.
This is beautiful, and Refik Anadol is a genius. I truly believe that this will set a precedent for a new age / movement of art.

Güzel bir çalışma olmuş . ))

Does- does he even exist? Is he who he claims to be? Is this guy really human???
Refik Anadol is an A.I. artpiece himself isn't he... I knew it.
That is the most beautiful graph of noise

Since we all must sleep how do we know we are not dreaming now? And do we know we are dreaming when we are dreaming?
The outcome is amazing. He is a true artist.
