A portrait made by artificial intelligence is to be auctioned by the well-known auction house Christie’s in New York this October. It is expected to be sell for between $7,000-10,000.
The painting, entitled Portrait of Edmond Belamy was created by Obvious, a Paris based art collective interested in exploring the interface between AI and visual art. The algorithm which generated the portrait works by extrapolating inputs from a number of human-painted artworks to produce the painting.
