Art Must Be Artificial: Perspectives of AI in the Visual Arts explores the evolution of computer-based art from the 1960s to today, showcasing works by over thirty international and Saudi artists across four generations, largely drawn from the Guy & Myriam Ullens Foundation’s collection. Organized by the Saudi Ministry of Culture and curated by Jérôme Neutres, the exhibition—presented at Diriyah Art Futures in Riyadh—examines how pioneering and contemporary artists use digital technology as a true artistic medium rather than a passing trend.
It highlights the role of computational and robotic art in shaping the concept of homo digitalis, placing audiences at the centre of immersive, evolving artworks that resemble organic systems. Ultimately, the exhibition argues that in an increasingly algorithmic world, art and technology are deeply interconnected, with artists playing a vital role in exploring its complexities—because imagination itself is an artificial reality, art must be artificial.
