What changed

Reporting records Marrow hanging the AI digital print Empty Plate in National Museum Cardiff without permission; the museum says it removed an unauthorised object. The artist addresses poverty and exhibition rights and accepts AI as an artistic tool.

RESEARCH NOTE

The date comes from November 11 reporting. Hyperallergic dates the work to 2024, which does not date its installation. There is no evidence that removal reflected an anti-AI position or that the museum accepted a donation.

Editorial research question

Editorial interpretation: distinguish AI as a protest tool from opposition to AI itself. This action questions exhibition authority and addresses poverty.

This is an editorial interpretation or question, separate from factual statements.
