Anthropic, the artificial intelligence company behind the language model Claude, has backed five new art commissions at Centre Pompidou Hanwha in Seoul, bringing its AI research into a museum setting for the first time in South Korea.

The commissions are presented in As _____ As Possible, on view until 13 November and organised by the Hanwha Foundation of Culture. Anthropic provided production funding and gave the artists access to Claude. The artists are MinOhrichar, Inhwa Yeom, Ubac Studio, Kahee Jeong and Mirim Chu.

The project grew out of the Seoul Research Salon, a forum on how AI systems work, and its framework draws on two ideas from AI research: interpretability, or understanding how systems reach their outputs, and alignment, or whether systems act in line with human intentions and values. Through video, sound, installation and interactive environments, the artists ask what AI makes intelligible and what escapes its categories.

Individual works take very different routes into that question. Mirim Chu's Searching for a New Route starts from the way satnav systems recalculate when a driver leaves a suggested path, and uses Claude to probe the shape-tween function of animation software. Kahee Jeong's 103 Early Hints fills a room with 103 miniature displays and speakers, while Ubac Studio's 32-screen Body, Still, Moving responds to viewers' movements. Inhwa Yeom explores neurodiversity through AI and extended reality, and MinOhrichar uses the game Monopoly to ask whose interests a system's rules serve.

The show extends Anthropic's work with museums in Asia, following its collaboration with Tokyo's Mori Art Museum on the 2025 exhibition Machine Love and its support for that museum's Roppongi Crossing triennial. The Seoul venture also arrives amid scrutiny of the company in Korea, where at least 15 authors are reported to be eligible for compensation of $3,000 per title following a $1.5 billion settlement over books used to train Claude.
