Anadol explained: “It was almost 7 years ago that I started working with AI: the question was if a machine can learn, can it dream? Can it hallucinate? Because it’s really more inspiring to think about a machine as a dream machine… Whenever we think about these dreams and hallucinations and different cognitive skills, we can start thinking about things like chance, control – and artmaking itself.” Speaking at the launch, the artist delved into the thinking behind this remarkable piece. Karel Komárek, co-founder of the Dvořák Prague Festival, and patron of the 0xCollection, who has played an instrumental role in the preservation of Dvořák’s cultural import, helped secure a wealth of primary source material that was used.įor nearly a year, Anadol and his team meticulously trained his signature algorithms, immersing them in original data, music, and records from throughout Dvořák’s life, totalling over one million data points sourced from within the Czech Republic and abroad.
