We are looking for AI generated or enhanced images to explore Artificial Intelligence as an emerging art form, not as a replacement for, but as one of many extensions to an artist’s toolbox.
There is a long tradition of technological aids to help an artist produce more realistic work… often generating work that looks like a photograph, but was not captured with a camera. For this exhibition we are looking for work that fools the eye, pushes boundaries and otherwise leaves the viewer wondering how the image was made. “Photorealistic” work in any media (except conventional photography) is welcome. Drawing, Painting, all forms of Digital Media, Manipulated or Composite Photography including AI based or enhanced images are welcome. This call is for work that challenges the viewer’s perception and leaves them wondering, is it a photograph?
We are looking for AI generated or enhanced images to explore Artificial Intelligence as an emerging art form, not as a replacement for, but as one of many extensions to an artist’s toolbox. We are looking to explore AI generated or augmented images as an art form or vehicle for self expression, not as a replacement for photography but as it’s own medium presented alongside previous photorealistic methods and media.
We are looking for work, in a wide variety of media, that looks like it might be a photograph but isn’t…
This call is open to AI generated or enhanced images, painting, drawing, printmaking and all forms of digital images.
