Artist Shilpa Gupta sees AI in art as another creative medium, while distinguishing its use from the moral question of whether artists should disclose it. For Gupta, what matters is what artists do with the technology.

Key Takeaways

  • Gupta has used photography, websites, touch screens and interactive video in her practice.
  • Her work has explored perception, borders and the relationship between power and everyday life.

AI in art and the question of disclosure

Asked about artists who use AI without disclosing it, Gupta separated disclosure from the use of the technology itself. She described disclosure as a question of morality and said artists would increasingly use AI as a medium.

Gupta said technology is one of many mediums in her practice because it shapes how people see the world. Her work has included digital printing, photography, websites, touch screens and interactive video.

Perception, borders and the making process

Gupta traced her interest in perception to questions about the filters that shape how people look, see and learn. Maps have appeared repeatedly in her work, alongside objects such as stamps and microphones.

Her 2012 work 1:14.9 used a ball of thread wound in the ratio of the length of the fence between India and Pakistan. Research into borders also informed works examining power and everyday life.

Gupta called the human mind her favourite tool and described the journey of making as the most rewarding part of her practice. Her 2017–18 work For, in Your Tongue, I Cannot Fit, based on 100 imprisoned poets, involved months of recording and editing.
