Berlin-based artist Simon Denny has been commissioned by New York Magazine to create a series of portraits for its 'Power' issue. The article, titled 'So Few People, So Much Influence,' highlights 26 individuals who are shaping the AI landscape, including Logan Graham of Anthropic, Beth Barnes of METR, and Brandan Foddy of Mercor. Denny's 'Technologists Portraits' series uses AI-generated images with a VHS aesthetic, featuring smiling figures with distorted, crackly backdrops. This style serves as a contrast to the significant influence wielded by these relatively unknown AI experts. Denny's work explores the intersection of art and technology, and he has written about the topic in publications such as Artforum. His previous exhibitions have also delved into the relationship between technology and society, including his 2015 show 'Secret Power' at the 56th Venice Biennale. Denny's use of AI-generated images in his portraits raises questions about the role of technology in art and the portrayal of influential figures in the AI community.
