- **3 Reasons Why MoMA's Latest Acquisition Reshapes the AI Art Narrative**
Historically, computer art (e.g. generative, coded, and digital) hasn't received the attention it deserves. The situation gets even worse when we add the words NFTs and, more recently, AI art.
That is why the latest acquisition by the MoMA of Refik Anadol's Unsupervised – Machine Hallucinations, an AI-based animation, feels like a huge step for the whole space.
Exhibited initially at Feral File, it was donated by Ryan Zurrer, the collector who acquired Beeple's Human One for $29M, along with the RFC Collection, led by Pablo Rodriguez-Fraile and Desiree Casoni.
Here are a few reasons why this is particularly special for AI and blockchain art:
**1. Exposure and education**
The MoMA has traffic of ±4M physical and ±55M online visitors per year (!), higher magnitudes than any digital gallery or marketplace. They do an outstanding job of educating art fans.
**2. Norm rather than the exception**
The MoMA joins other institutions, like The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), which has a collection of digital works by artists like Claire Silver, Justin Aversano, and Monica Rizzolli.
Most were donated by the mysterious Cozomo D Medici.
Expect more world-class institutions to follow through...
**3. Long-Term Vision, not an Isolated Event**
“The Museum of Modern Art announces an innovative slate of Fall 2023–Winter 2024 acquisitions,” read the official announcement. “that encourages new thinking about human and machine intelligence, creativity, and the potential of art and technology to reshape our physical and digital worlds.”
This adds up to their recent initiative, The MoMA Postcard, which demonstrated how blockchain technology facilitates collaboration used by 15 artists in different locations across the globe.

Thoughts on this acquisition and what it means for the future of AI and generative art?
- Micol, @verticalcrypto.lens founder, highlights a big problem in the space...
Very little risk-taking in curatorial frameworks.

- "AI is like fire, weeping fire."
Laurence Fuller draws a parallel between AI and Prometheus' gift of fire:
Handle it like a powerful tool, not just for support but as a weapon of art.

- This algorithmic piece, called Sadok, is part of a series of 128 unique digital artwork created by Olga Fadina for Unit London.
Although the piece is digital (minted on the blockchain), it could only be collected last week, live, at the group exhibition.
- Any Reddit users?
Any cool subreddits for art & creative stuff?
