TOKYO: The Imaginary Bones exhibition at the K contemporary gallery in Tokyo features works produced using artificial intelligence algorithms.

The young artist, Yuma Kishi, is inspired by the cinematographic work of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001 A Space Odyssey by creating organic installations whose sculptural works are the result of a three-dimensional assembly of bones by artificial intelligence.

In 2001, the scene at the start of the film shows a monkey throwing a bone from an ox carcass, and the bone becomes a space station. This episode was a great inspiration for the artist in terms of its relationship with artificial intelligence.

Kishi has a special relationship with artificial intelligence, which he believes to be autonomous, but is also working in conjunction with humans.

As for the two-dimensional works, they represent mathematicians, gas station workers and farmers. Their faces are compiled in unique paintings by an artificial intelligence on monochrome aluminum supports.  The faces assembled by AI ​​resemble those of the painter Francis Bacon to which the artist refers.

On the first floor of the gallery, visitors can sit on an armchair next to an organic sculpture and can admire a translucent curtain projection of algorithms of photos taken from human organs.

The Imaginary Bones exhibition is being held in two parts at the K gallery, the first part of which takes place from November 17 to 8 and the other part from November 8 to 17 November.
