Artist Mariko Mori Used Claude to Code an Animation for Her Retrospective
Mariko Mori has pushed the boundaries of art for three decades. For her retrospective "All That Shines," she used Claude to write code for a computer-generated animation, presented as a new video installation.
Context
It shows a major artist using an AI model as a coding tool for finished work shown in a museum style exhibition.
Mariko Mori is a Japanese artist whose retrospective is titled All That Shines. Anthropic's Claude account shared the project as a customer story.
Deep dive
The official Claude account posted that the artist Mariko Mori, who it said has pushed the boundaries of art for three decades, used Claude to write code for a computer generated animation in her retrospective All That Shines.
According to the post, the animation is presented as a new video installation in the show. The post links to more details but does not describe how much of the code Claude wrote, what tools rendered the animation, or how Mori worked with the model.
The post is a promotional story from Anthropic rather than an independent report, and it does not give the venue or dates of the retrospective.
It is one of several recent examples of AI labs highlighting creative uses of their models. Here the model is used as a programming aid that turns an artist's ideas into generative code, rather than as an image generator, which is a different and often less contested role for AI in art.
What to expect next
Look for coverage of the exhibition itself and for Mori to explain how she used Claude in the process. More artists may share similar workflows where AI writes the code behind generative works. How audiences and critics respond will add to the wider debate about where AI fits in creative practice. AI labs will likely keep promoting stories like this one as they try to show uses beyond office work.
