One notable example of how technological advancements influenced the art world was after the invention of the camera. Portrait painters were forced to change because they were replaced by photographic machines, leading to the emergence of modern art.
And in the 1970s, further advancements in portable film photography enabled artists to achieve a level of realism that was previously unattainable, giving rise to Photorealism.
Artists serve as historians, documenting the shifts and developments in society and culture through their work.
This realization has led me to believe that artificial intelligence is the most significant moment in art history since the invention of the early handheld camera, the Kodak 1, in 1888.
Cedric Chambers is best known for blending AI, digital photographs, and composite images into the reference materials for his oil paintings.
Chambers has said, "Artificial Intelligence is the most significant innovation to influence oil painting since the invention of the handheld camera in the 1880s."
Born in 1990, Cedric Alessandro Chambers is a Bolivian-American oil painter. He holds a BFA and an MBA from MSU Denver.
