The Year AI Captured Art

The article surveys the visual art landscape of 2025, arguing that the year's defining throughline is the increasing centrality of artificial intelligence—a technological revolution most people didn't ask for but cannot escape. It highlights several exhibitions and works that engage with AI in different ways: Seth Price's show at Isabella Bortolozzi in Berlin, which uses generative images from the pandemic era overlaid with gestural paint strokes; Charmaine Poh's video "GOOD MORNING YOUNG BODY" (2023) at Palais Populaire, where she deploys deepfake technology to have her twelve-year-old self speak back to internet trolls; and Philippe Parreno's show at Haus der Kunst, which poeticizes how generative technologies interact with humans and nature. The article also notes the rise of AI-generated "slop" online and its incursion into the physical art world, as well as market shifts where larger galleries are increasingly acquiring Instagram-friendly emerging artists directly.
