Art in collaboration with AI: the work "Museum X" at the "Legacy for the Future" exposition

Art in collaboration with AI: the work "Museum X" at the "Legacy for the Future" exposition
01.30

Visitors to the National Centre RUSSIA can attend the exposition of works by young artists from various countries until February 2. The exposition features both classical paintings and modernist and avant-garde projects. Additionally, unique artworks created at the intersection of photography and AIGC technologies are presented here. Their author is Wei Yunjia, a student at the Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts.

In his series titled "Museum X," the artist uses AIGC technology to create new fantastical yet familiar spaces. Visitors can observe theater and museum halls — recognizable and, at the same time, entirely unidentifiable. The interiors, crafted by the artist in collaboration with artificial intelligence, seem to exist beyond the boundaries of the real world. These extraordinary works appear to invite viewers to travel through time or embark on a mental journey.

The "X" symbol in the title holds special meaning for the artist. In algebra, "X" is used to represent an unknown value that can change. This allows for the generalization of mathematical statements and solving problems where specific values are not yet known.

The artist invites viewers to contemplate the unknown variable hidden within his paintings: eternity or a moment, time or space? There is no answer to this question.

Please note that the second floor of the National Centre RUSSIA will be temporarily closed to visitors as expositions are changed. However, cultural, educational, and business programs will continue. All up-to-date information on event dates and locations can be found in the "Events" section on the website. Starting in February, the expositions "Hall of Inventions" and "Legacy for the Future" will conclude. In March, after installation and updates, the National Centre will open two new expositions: one on architecture and another titled "Journey Across Russia."
