In 2022, artist Nettrice Gaskins created a portrait of Greg Tate using artificial intelligence. It was installed as an outdoor mural by the Museum of Contemporary African Disporan Art in Brooklyn, New York. In addition, this image was displayed at Lincoln Center in NYC as part of an exhibition project. The portrait, which is of the late "preeminent culture critic, godfather to Black journalism, author, and musician of our time" (cf. MoCADA, n.d.), highlights the importance of skin color in several descriptions. The artist writes about the process of creating the portrait:

​

„[…] I created a portrait of him using Deep Dream Generator. I added all the layers and effects as I did for the other portraits in the “Gilded” series. These images counter anti-blackness using artificial intelligence or AI, with a hidden algorithm that applies unique effects. These works explore specularity or shine, which adds an illusion of depth — the amount depends on how dark the subject is. It’s the kind of hidden ‘black magic’ that Greg Tate recognized in Storyboard P and, in turn, I tapped into a form of that magic to create Greg’s portrait.“

 

Thus, something unique is created from a supposedly disadvantageous feature; at the same time, there is a reversal of the socially, albeit in any case painfully, racist ideal of beauty: the darker the individual, the more special Gaskin's end result. In contrast to the other monuments, the subject of the memorial, as well as the medium, consequently stand out and point to a new, more democratic form of commemoration that can be initiated digitally.

If one would like to return to the initial topic at this point, one could, as in any case with Kameelah Janan Rasheed's example, also come back to the fact that although the art market is developing further and becoming more 'feminine', it is still not an easy way for people with more than one form of discrimination - in this case origin and gender - to assert and establish themselves in the art world.
