The article presents, in the broad context of contemporary technological and artistic phenomena, the works of one of the most important artists currently using artificial intelligence in his practice – Refik Anadol. Although the main emphasis is placed on the Machine Hallucinations project, developed since 2018 in various versions, and in particular Unsupervised – Machine Hallucinations presented at MoMA (at the turn of 2022 and 2023), other projects by Anadol and his studio are also discussed. The work of this artist arouses extreme reactions – from complete deprecation and statements that in this case we are dealing with “screensavers”, “psychedelic slush”, or “relaxation exercises” that pretend to be innovative (technologically) art, to genuine delight and recognition of the Turkish artist’s activities as groundbreaking achievements in the area of the use of algorithms and machine learning procedures. A critical look at the reception of these works and, above all, the author’s interpretation of the significance of using artificial intelligence in art based on Anadol’s work – leads to fundamental questions about research-based art and the emerging art of artificial intelligence (AI art).
