Bloomington-based artist Brian Trippi’s exhibit, “Into the Latent Space,” will be featured at THE LUME Indianapolis at Newfields on April 14. Trippi is exploring the possibilities of artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on art. His works are bridges between humans and machines, and he sees AI as capable of helping people make better art. Visitors will feel like they are standing inside the mind of an AI, seeing what happens within a neural network algorithm. The exhibit provides both visual and auditory experiences and is accompanied by Newfield’s “Monet & Friends Alive!” as independent digital art. Trippi’s process usually starts with a vision of something he wants to make. He gives the AI a list of guidelines to follow and then runs the program, which outputs a result. Randomness and chance are involved, and sometimes the AI surprises him with unexpected, supremely beautiful, and interesting results. Tickets for the exhibit can be purchased for $15-$29 at https://bit.ly/3Z6awYe.
Bloomington artist Brian Trippi’s AI exhibit featured at THE LUME Indianapolis at Newfields.
Brian Trippi, a Bloomington-based artist, believes that “artificial intelligence will be the most revolutionary, most impactful technology in the history of humanity.” He mixes technology with art, and his works are bridges between humans and machines. Trippi sees AI as a means of helping people make better art. His techniques include math, randomness, and AI.
On April 14, from 6 to 8 p.m., The LUME Indianapolis at Newfields will feature Trippi’s short digital exhibition, “Into the Latent Space,” which includes artificial intelligence (AI). This exhibit will be showcased alongside the works of two other artists who also won the chance to exhibit. The LUME Indianapolis offers visits to an immersive world of lighting and world-renowned art such as Renoir, Cézanne, Monet, and Pissarro, among others.
“Into the Latent Space” provides images from millions of dancing particles, and nature scattering into tiny pixels, while also looking at AI’s “brain.” Each short exhibition is both visual and auditory and accompanies Newfield’s “Monet & Friends Alive!” as independent digital art.
Trippi’s LUME exhibit offers a unique experience for visitors as they will feel like they are standing inside the mind of an AI, seeing what happens within a neural network algorithm. The exhibit offers a world of sound and visuals that envelop viewers. At one point, all the walls and floor twinkle with millions of tiny glowing flecks that appear to dance to the music.
Although AI is somewhat controversial in the art world, Trippi submitted his application confidently. He wasn’t sure that Newfields would be willing to embrace such a new way of creating art. However, working with the staff at Newfields impressed him with their openness and willingness to evolve and adapt.
The LUME Indianapolis provides an immersive experience, and visitors will feel as though they strolled into Paris during the 1800s. It’s significant because that’s when European art veered into major change.
The role of AI in Art with Brian Trippi
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly pervasive in our daily lives, from Google or Apple Maps navigation, text autocorrection on our phones, email spam blockers, fraud detection on our credit cards, facial recognition, our social media feeds, product recommendations, and even robotic vacuum cleaners. The list of AI applications is growing quickly, and the pace of technological change is increasing.

Hope for novice artists
Trippi has been creating visual art for less than a year and a half, thanks to the power of technology. He sees it as a testament to the power of AI that someone like him, with zero ability to draw or paint, is able to create art through the use of cutting-edge technology. He hopes viewers will recognize the possibilities that technology has opened up for creativity and consider the role of human creativity in the age of AI.
How Trippi works
Trippi’s process usually starts with a vision of something he wants to make. He gives the AI a list of guidelines to follow and then runs the program, which outputs a result. Randomness and chance are involved, and if you run the program a thousand times, you get a thousand different results.
Trippi observes what the AI does and makes some changes, telling the AI to use less yellow or leave out the bees until he gets what he wants. But sometimes the AI surprises him with unexpected, supremely beautiful, and interesting results. That’s when the artist falls in love with AI and the collaboration between man and machine.
Trippi’s background
Trippi began his college education as a jazz studies major at Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music but graduated with a degree in finance from the Kelley School of Business in Indianapolis. He earned a master’s degree in data science from the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing and Engineering in 2018. When he’s not computing, DJ-ing or making music, he is laughing at comedy podcasts and at the antics of Roxy, his dog.
If you go
The launch party for Brian Trippi’s “Into the Latent Space” will take place on April 14, from 6 to 8 p.m., at THE LUME Indianapolis at Newfields. Visitors can explore Trippi’s and other artists’ works after hours with family and friends. Light hors d’oeuvres will be provided, and Cafe Lumiere will stay open.
