Up to US$432,000 would cost a work of art produced through artificial intelligence
The interesting thing about this process is that Big Data is used. So it has a wide variety of levels for the creation of structured art.
The nature of creative processes has received a new player in art creation and dissemination: Artificial Intelligence. Among the mechanisms for the creation of art is the generation of images through procedures based on rules and using mathematical patterns, algorithms that simulate painting techniques, and other modeling effects and codes of the same digital platform or deep learning, such as generative networks.
The interesting thing about this process is that Big Data is used, so it has a wide variety level for the creation of structured art. Recently, a trend of creating images through these open-source mechanisms has taken hold and it is being valued by a high market in the commercial and luxury market.

Some international prizes and events award these creations from auctions and projects.
Last year, for example, the Colorado Art Fair prize for digital painting went to Jason M. Allen for an image called ‘Théâtre D’opéra Spatial’.
The winning work is the creation of an Artificial Intelligence system created by Midjourney, an independent research laboratory.
Midjourney’s app is open source and opened to the public in July 2022. Midjourney creates images from text descriptions and functions as a public chat in the community.
Just type the command “/imagine” followed by a description in English, in this case, “snowy peaks on a sunny day”, to get a highly detailed image in a few seconds.
Additionally, in 2018, a piece of art created by an AI program sold at Christie’s auction for $432,500, nearly 45 times its maximum estimate.
The painting, ‘Portrait of Edmond Belamy’, was generated by an algorithm fed with 15,000 portraits painted between the 14th and 20th centuries.
Now, some artists assure that this type of art will remove some jobs in the artistic and architectural design field, but, in addition, some also assure that it will make things much easier when building designs with more professional finishes and in less time.
“The creative process is obtained almost in the same way that I, for example, look for more ideas to be able to capture them in my sketches.
When I have conversations with other painters about anything, or about the same concept that I want to look for, ideas come to me and the digital system searches for them through a whole universe of data”, says Joaquín Restrepo, plastic artist.
For his part, José Palacio, an artist specializing in the creation of digital art, acrylic art, and animation, says that this type of technology complements and, in turn, optimizes the design and evolution of the same results that are seen today through of other techniques.
