Primary among these is the advent of artificial intelligence image-generating applications, which challenge the materiality of artworks in entirely new ways. This essay proposes that such mechanisms mask art’s materiality within and behind seductively sleek illusions that hide the true materiality of art. It also uses the repatriation of art objects to propose that art’s materiality still matters. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5x48h1s1 Wed, 6 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Yonan, Michael
