BEYOND THE PROMPT is a solo exhibition by Jordi Fornies. Meet the artist to understand his development process for this series, and the role of Generative Artificial Intelligence in his practice. Fornies will take us through his journey and how it evolves from previous series to this series, as well as where he is heading for future series.
BEYOND THE PROMPT is Forniés' direct response to Generative AI use in art, through a series of oil on wood paintings. In contrast to AI's rapid image generation, Forniés adopted a deliberate approach, mediating between AI-prompted visuals and his own tangible paintings. His compositions, unlike their digital counterparts, were driven by human emotion, artistic intuition, and aesthetic discernment, resulting in a slower, more contemplative process.
Curated by Khai Hori, Director & Partner, Chan + Hori Contemporary, Singapore
