About the Exhibition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The rise of artificial intelligence-generated art has made many artists rightly nervous. How artists can properly respond to AI is a pressing and open question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donna Harraway, in her \u201cCyborg Manifesto\u201d (1985) wrote: \u201cThe machine is not an it to be animated, worshiped and dominated. The machine is us, our processes, an aspect of our embodiment. We can be responsible for machines; they do not dominate or threaten us. We are responsible for boundaries; we are they.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aberrant Creativity is an international, juried exhibition exploring the boundaries between our machines and ourselves. It is an opportunity for artists to challenge AI, to seduce AI into creative partnership, or lead it astray into play and joy. Visitors are invited to enter a strange new world in which artists experiment responsibly in embodiment and subversion, invention and hacking, community and connection between the human and the machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
