AUSTIN, TX.- Is tech-based imagery fine art or just another tech inc. artifact?

The Austin public has the chance to see work by thirteen AI and Generative art pioneers while the “paint” is still wet. Viewers can decide for themselves if this entirely new art form represents a creative breakthrough or a crushing blow.

Curated by Julia Morton, AI + Art columnist and former director of Generative Art Project, and gallerist Christina Hiltscher of Unchained.Art Contemporary Gallery, the show features human collaborating with code, data, sound, math, AI, AR, and 3D.

You’ll experience Jiabao Li’s AI-activist art in the form of edible bio-plastics. Generative artist Simon Russell visualizes sounds from endangered landscapes, and AI artist Blumquist takes us to familiar places we’ve never been. Jessica Jackson simulates human emotions, while Belowsubconscious captures dreamy utopian nightmares in her AI films. Alba Corral harnesses god mode to reshape nature’s algorithms into generative performance art. James Pricer uses data to source portraits, and E9 creates digital landscapes that leave you wondering, is that a person, place, or thing?

Tech art is still wild and unvetted. Yet the medium has unique attributes that expand who creates, how they produce, and what they explore. Creative innovations this radical are rare, and fleeting, and they give audiences the opportunity to shape art history with their critical choices. Curated to give viewers a wide-angle look at tech-art’s potential, the art prompts us to ask is it evolution or the end? Come see the show and tell us what you think art’s future should look like.

Each week we'll host guest speakers from art, tech, and design for Q&A check IG for event details @unchained.art.gallery
