CVPR 2025 to Showcase AI’s Influence on Art Through AI Art Gallery Program

Now in its second year, the program will feature a curated gallery of art and panel discussions

WHAT: The Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) Conference is the preeminent event for research and development (R&D) in the hot topic areas of computer vision, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), augmented, virtual and mixed reality (AR/VR/MR), deep learning, and related fields. Co-sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society (CS) and the Computer Vision Foundation (CVF), for the second year in a row, CVPR will hold its AI Art Program.

The Art Program will feature a curated gallery with more than 100 works – more than 70 of which will be displayed on site at the conference; the remaining online – as well as two panel sessions.

WHY: The CVPR Art Gallery will be curated by Luba Elliott, a leading curator, producer and researcher specializing in artificial intelligence in the creative industries. Featured works will use or look at computer vision and leverage techniques such as generative models and object and facial recognition. Works will include, but are not limited to, the following:

"Atlas of Perception,” a work premiering at CVPR 2025, illuminates the "visual vocabulary" of vision models by exploring the latent space of neural networks. The sculptural representation examines how machines parse the world, providing insight into the grammar of appearance itself—the modular semantics of vision.
“SWIM” layers archival film footage of a swimmer over interpolated AI-generated glitches. Over the course of a nine-minute film, the scene is pixelated into noise, in a meditative contemplation of the training process for diffusion models. This is a visual representation of the introduction of Gaussian noise distributed through images in training. But it also serves as a reflection on cultural memory and the transformation of visual culture into pixelated material for generative AI.
“Green Diffusion” highlights the simultaneity of “destruction” and "creation” by juxtaposing the process of decomposition by soil microorganisms—turning material into fertile nutrients—with the noise-adding and noise-removing process of an AI “diffusion model.

In addition, the 2025 CVPR AI Art Program will feature two panel sessions. Elliott will moderate a panel with artists Masaru Mizuochi, Mingyong Cheng, Leandra Tejedor and Yamin Xu. And Aaron Hertzmann, Principal Scientist at Adobe Research, will moderate a panel with additional artists and researchers including Tom White, Friedhelm Hamann, Imke Grabe, and Isaac Clarke.

WHEN/WHERE: CVPR 2025 takes place 11-15 June at Music City Center, Nashville, TN, USA. The CVPR AI Art Gallery will be open Friday, 13 June through Sunday, 15 June and on display in the Exhibit Hall. Guided tours will be available on Friday and Saturday at 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET and Sunday at 11 a.m. ET. Best artworks, which will come with cash prizes, will be announced 13 June during the Welcome and Awards ceremony..
