We humans still need to see the beauty of oases. But the main intention of Bardhyl Bejtullah's exhibition "How AI Sees" remains to address the challenge of AI. His perceptive optimism challenges Artificial Intelligence with its creative genius - indeed, AI, as a human-generated tool, should not surpass us by lacking what we consider important: heart and soul.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a major topic of conversation about the future of humanity in recent years, with alarming predictions about the end of humanity, out of fear that AI will prevail in every field.
Artist Bardhyl Bejtullahu comes with an exhibition at “Hani i 2 Robertëve” that confronts the motivation, emotion and original creativity of the artist with the imaginative power of AI, when AI takes on the task of realizing the same themes as the author's originals, so that AI can generate them as they are seen through the eyes of a child, or an elderly person, an architect, a psychiatrist, and others. The result of this challenge reveals an interesting range of sister images where we are faced with the issue of original and generated authorship. AI in this experiment becomes a tool for realizing versions of the same work, where those that AI can generate are limitless, which are not simply copies, but also bear the stamp of Bejtullahu's authorship, as a type of expanded multiverse authorship.
Bardhyl Bejtullahu's original paintings are distinguished by studied and well-balanced compositions, generally pleasant and pleasing. They radiate with optimism, because the artist often places them within a resonant whiteness that gives the painting's motif a luminous aura, despite the fluidity and transparency that give the oil colors the spontaneity and delicacy of watercolor.
Another compositional highlight is the extension of structural forms that the landscapes present in a stylized manner, so that trees and houses have vertical extensions, and the abstract works also have fundamental dynamic relationships of the subtle intersection between vertical and horizontal visual vectors, or between the celestial and the terrestrial in the generation and structuring of perceptible aesthetic reality. Light and whiteness prevail in Bejtullah's work not as a blind eye to the darkness and toxicity in contemporary life, but as a deliberate contrast to the evils that engaged art warns against as the greatest dangers to survival.
We humans still need to see the beauty of oases. But the main intention of the exhibition remains to address the challenge of AI. Its perceptive optimism challenges Artificial Intelligence with its creative genius – indeed, AI, as a human-generated tool, should not surpass us by lacking what we consider important: heart and soul!
