Herndon and Dryhurst Turn K21 into AI Music Studio
Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst have transformed the K21 Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen in Düsseldorf into an interactive AI training ground for collaborative art and music production. Their installation, Starmirror, created with design studio sub, functions as an immersive sound installation, recording studio, and listening environment. The artists, known for addressing power imbalances through AI and virtual ecosystems, use protocols to rehearse new human-AI arrangements. The exhibition turns the gallery into a space for collective experimentation.
