Admittedly, I didn’t look at first. In fact, I only dealt with the topic more intensively with the NVIDIA GTC 2023. But digital art and AI are both of the same construction kit – both work with „zeros and ones“.
A good introduction and overview of the status quo is provided by NVIDIA Founder and CEO, Jensen Huang in his keynote on GTC 2023

Let´s get to digital art influenced bay AI
Generating Modern Masterpieces: MoMA Dreams Become a Reality
„Join multimedia artist and director, Refik Anadol and Museum of Modern Art curators, Michelle Kuo and Paola Antonelli, to explore the evolution of technology in the making of modern art. They’ll discuss how the archive of data from New York’s Museum of Modern Art was transformed using AI into a real-time modern art piece—the first of its kind in a major art museum.“

My feeling that AI output should be only one part of an artistic composition/creation is, I think, reflected in the essence of a statement I remember:
Refik Anadol: . . . The piece is using 25 feet x 25 feet media wall and it is using … 1.8 mm resolution and its a 4K by 4K experience . . . the whole exploration starts by the achive itself [of MOMA] witch is online at GITHUB . . . so the idea starts by looking at the data and downloading and understanding the depth of the incredible art collection . . . we are using two [NVIDIA] DGX stations live . . . both of them are running the model . . . we want to get the best color and the form – I mean it is the canvas . . . and the light is the material . . .
In short – screen is the new canvas – and AI can help put the color on it, as well as other tools from the digital art toolbox.
