Last October, esteemed auction house, Christie’s, auctioned off a piece of artwork that was created by a machine for the first time ever. The painting sold for a staggering $432,500 dollars, over $400,000 more than what it was set to go for. The hype and hefty price tag confirmed the growing interest of artificial intelligence in art, a sector that surrounds a plethora of visual arts.
