Kinder Scout by Holly Herndon & Mat Dryhurst Exhibition: Dec 3-7, 2025 Location: ArtBasel Miami Beach Kinder Scout is a landmark experiment premiering at Art Basel Miami Beach. Drawing on Ken Stanley’s research into novelty search and the ethos of the right-to-roam movement, Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst present a protocol that explores uncharted regions of a diffusion model’s latent space in pursuit of truly uncommon images. The artists have trained an expedition team of agents with distinct roles. Some embody their personal aesthetic sensibilities, while others serve as critics, filtering out images that feel too familiar. The work unfolds on a digital canvas that visualizes these agents on their mission, traversing, arguing, and discovering in real time.
