An exhibition of artificial intelligence art installations from Ian Cheng is currently on view at the Serpentine Gallery in California. Cheng's work takes inspiration from traditional art works and from the work of Richard Evans, creator of computer game Simms 3. The three works are "narrative loops on giant screens". Each work has its own AI "agent" and uses techniques from the study of cognitive science at UC Berkeley, London. As the scenes play on screens, the viewer can compose their own story line. The AIs have been coded with simple targets which they try to complete, unaided by the artist.
