And as AI’s ability to generate images has rapidly improved, questions surrounding whether this sort of technology has any place in the art world have grown increasingly urgent. Now, photographer and Dazed co-founder Rankin has launched a new magazine called Faik Off, created with a view to interrogating the role of human creativity in the AI era. For the magazine and accompanying exhibition, which is showing at the Annroy Gallery until June 18, Rankin has produced a number of AI-generated images using software like Midjourney and ChatGPT which pose thoughtful questions about the relationship between AI and art. “The work is my way of asking questions, of tracing the impact of these seismic changes on a craft I love,” Rankin writes in Faik Off. “And maybe, of trying to stay sane in a world that keeps changing shape. within this magazine you will see (and read) me wrestle with AI, to make sense of it and to bend it to my will. It does bend, eventually, but the cost in time and energy is exhausting. I also pivot between enjoying using it and feeling empty, celebrating it and hating everything it stands for. I’m still trying to work it out!” The magazine is a 420-page publication which features the AI-generated images created by Rankin, as well as interviews and commentary written by both humans and bots like ChatGPT. Faik Off is showing at the Annroy Gallery until June 18 2025. Escape the algorithm! Get The DropEmail address SIGN UP Get must-see stories direct to your inbox every weekday.
