The AI Revolution: An Interview with Boris Eldagsen on Winning (and Refusing) the Sony World Photography Award

“I see the downsides of AI, I see the problems for democracies […] but at the same time, as an artist taking this as a reality, it is something I just love doing.”—Boris Eldagsen, in our interview on his winning (and refusing) a prize for his AI-generated art at the SWPA.

Inspiration

"To read a dull book; to listen to a tedious play or prosy sermon or lecture; to stare at uninteresting pictures or ugly buildings: nothing, short of disease, is more dreadful than this. The violence done to our souls by it leaves injuries and produces subtle maladies which have never been properly studied by psycho-pathologists. Yet we are so inured to it in school, where practically all the teachers are bores trying to do the work of artists, and all the books artless, that we acquire a truly frightful power of enduring boredom. We even acquire the notion that fine art is lascivious and destructive to the character."

- George Bernard Shaw, from Misalliance
