The "The Art of Trending" initiative from the Woods Art Institute explores the parameters of art and what defines an artist. To ascertain what is trending, particularly in society, culture, the environment, and politics, ‘The Art of Trending’ program uses hashtags obtained through social listening. The hashtags or discussion topics are then turned into artwork by the artificial intelligence application "DALL-E 2," which generates digital graphics from text descriptions. According to the institute, the exhibition is a hyper-contemporary display of art that was "curated by all of us and executed by AI."
Through the influx of AI art being widely spread on social media, significant attention is being placed on the threat to real artists’ careers. Woods Art Institute describes AI technology as “powerful tool for visual designers." The institute finds the experiment “interesting not only on what AI can do but about sparking a conversation around new technologies related to art.”
