Can photography and AI happily co-exist? They do in this unusual new gallery exhibition contrasting photography with “promptography”

An image from the Rivals Photography Vs. Promptography gallery.

The prevalence of generative AI has sparked a number of debates in the art community, but now a gallery is trying to address some of those questions by placing photography and “promptography” together in one exhibition. RIVALS – Photography vs. Promptography is a new exhibition at a museum in Berlin, Germany that seeks to address the limits and possibilities of both conventional photographs and machine-generated imagery.

The exhibition sets out to define both the strengths and differences of photography and promptography inside the traditional space for debating artwork: a museum. Held at the Guelman und Unbekannt Gallery in Berlin as part of the European Month of Photography and in cooperation with Photo Edition Berlin, the exhibit includes works from 18 photographers and 18 generative AI artists.
