A world-famous artist had Claude write the code for her new museum animation
Anthropic shared that artist Mariko Mori, known for three decades of work across art and technology, used Claude to write the code behind a computer-generated animation for her retrospective "All That Shines". The piece is presented as a new video installation in the exhibition, and Anthropic posted a short film about how she made it. The animation is computer-generated: the visuals come from code that Claude wrote for her, rather than being drawn frame by frame.
Why it matters
It shows code-driven generative animation is now within reach of artists who don't program, with the AI acting as the technical hand and the artist keeping creative control.
Who it's for
Artists, designers, motion and video creators, and teachers looking for a practical way to make generative visuals.
How to try it
- Describe the motion you want in plain words: shapes, colors, pace and how it should loop.
- Ask Claude to write it as a single HTML file using canvas or Three.js so you can preview it in a browser.
- Iterate by describing what to change, then screen-record the result or ask Claude how to export frames for video.
Plan & availability: Claude is available on Free and paid plans on web, desktop and mobile; longer coding sessions work best on paid plans or in Claude Code. The retrospective is at the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo; Anthropic's video is on X. Checked against Anthropic's post on X on November 12, 2026.
