The artwork, generated using artificial intelligence before being printed off, was hung by Marrow in the museum’s Contemporary section, with his website saying Empty Plate “represents Wales in 2025”.
Marrow he was interested in “how public institutions decide what’s worth showing, and what happens when something outside that system appears within it”.
He said using artificial intelligence to create it was “part of the natural evolution of artistic tools”, adding he sketched the image before he used AI.
“AI is here to stay, to gatekeep its capability would be against the beliefs I hold dear about art,” he said.
Morrow said visitors had responded well to it and took photos.
