The three members of the artist collective Obvious, who in 2018 produced the first artwork to be auctioned using artificial intelligence, present a work in their studio conceived entirely from the brain activity of one of them: a first, according to the collective. For months, Pierre Fautrel, Hugo Caselles-Dupre and Gauthier Vernier trained an algorithm using their own brain images to translate their imagination into images using generative AI. "It's not exactly what I had in mind," admits Pierre Fautrel, "but it has kept the semantic elements" for a result that is "quite close" to what the artist had in mind in the MRI of the Institut du Cerveau (Brain Institute), where the group does its research. For Charles Mellerio, a neuro-radiologist involved in the scientific project, it is the recent stunning progress in generative AI and functional imaging that has made this result possible, which he "would not have believed" two years ago.
