Bad moon rising: AI debate erupts over ‘colourised’ version of a classic Ansel Adams photo

The New York gallery Danziger displayed an AI-generated colorized version of Ansel Adams's iconic photograph *Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico* (1941) at the Aipad Photography Show in April, offering prints for $6,000 to $10,000. The Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust publicly condemned the work, stating it exploited Adams's name and reputation without permission, and accused gallery owner James Danziger of leveraging the image to promote a commercial AI colorization venture. Danziger defended the piece as a transformative work in the public domain, citing legal advice and his admiration for the original.

Bulldozer Plows Across Thousand-Year-Old Indigenous Land Art During Border Wall Construction

Construction workers building the Trump administration's border wall between the US and Mexico accidentally damaged a two-hundred-foot-long Indigenous land art figure known as the Las Playas Intaglio, a colossal fish etched into the earth near Ajo, Arizona, that is thought to be over a thousand years old. Satellite imagery showed bulldozer tracks cutting a sixty-to-seventy-foot-wide path across the intaglio, and a Customs and Border Protection spokesperson confirmed the disturbance, stating the remaining portion had been secured and would be protected in place.
