I am not a big fan of the question ‘Is this art?’ I much prefer the question ‘What does it mean if we consider this art?’ It’s more expansive, lending itself toward more productive and respectful debate about visual art 🦾🦾🦾 ‘I am Adam Lindsay. I worry about getting older without accomplishing everything I want to.’ AI produced this image in response to my confession. While I don’t consider this art (more because of the lack of intentionality as a part of the creative process and the fact that I am not an artist) but what would it mean if I did consider it art? #art #contemporaryart #ai #image #debate

AI generated this from the text ‘I am Adam Lindsay. I love visual art and buy too many clothes.’ 👔🧥👕 I quite like this image and I wonder whether the line between digital tools and AI will continue to blur in future. One of the most influential artists of the 20th Century (known previously for ‘traditional’ methods of art production) turned to iPad drawings late in his career. And so, I ask, without judgement, if the viewer and buyer know how something is produced (with digital software, paint brushes, AI etc) does this make the use of AI in art production legitimate? #art #contemporaryart #hottopic #ai

The place of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in art is being hotly debated at the moment and it inspired me to explore. This image was AI generated from the text input ‘I am Adam Lindsay. I work at the National Gallery of Australia.’ 📲📲📲 So, what do you think about the use of AI in art? #ai #art #contemporaryart

An extraordinary example of contemporary sculpture, fluid and lyrical 🌬️🌬️🌬️ Andrew Rogers, I am, 2016 #art #contemporaryart #sculpture #beauty #love

Lisa Roet, Orangutan foot, 2007-08 is just one of the National Gallery’s intriguing, thought provoking sculptures by the lake in Canberra 🦧🦧🦧 #animal #art #contemporaryart #culture #lake #sculpture

From classical to contemporary, sculpture is everywhere in the @nationalgalleryaus Sculpture Garden. And the experience of walking through in the cold weather is moody and bracing🗿🗿🗿 Gaston Lachaise, Floating figure, 1927 #bronze #sculpture #canberra #floating #water #relax #art
