This week across our social channels, we are talking about AI and its use within art. In 2019, we presented Everything in Existence by Italian multidisciplinary art studio fuse at ARTECHOUSE DC. Playing with light, space, sound, and movement, this exhibition was built on systems of generative coding that were constantly processing data — from the viewer, from social networks, from sound, and from the software itself.

The result was the creation of 'living art', where any traces of AI melted into the background and instead it created space for visitors to exist outside themselves and reconsider their realities.
