AI, data, and digital reimagining art and spaces

AI, data, and digital reimagining art and spaces: we speak to media artist Refik Anadol, and hear about the first art exhibition on Fortnite - from street artist KAWS.

Turkish, LA-based media artist Refik Anadol who uses data and AI to make new types of artwork, rethink art spaces, and visualise computer ‘dreams’. In his studio, he describes his work – which creates NFTs, 'data paintings' and 'sculptures', and digital immersive galleries, and is now moving to the metaverse. 

Plus, the gallery in the metaverse: the KAWS street art exhibition where art lovers are joined by virtual cartoon visitors – and which is now the first art show in Fortnite.

And we hear from the women and non-binary creatives who want to make NFTs more diverse to improve representation in art.
