Ghost in the Machine

Cottonwood Center for the Arts is pleased to announce an exhibition for the month of July featuring works by our own resident artists: GHOST IN THE MACHINE.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a hot-button topic in the contemporary art world with many artists and curators celebrating new forms of tool-use and collaboration and many more fearing the loss of authenticity in the arts not to mention job opportunities. We asked the AI text generator Gemini to suggest an art prompt that proves the need and value of the human artist in our culture. Here's what it wrote:

Create a piece of art that explores the physical manifestation of emotion. Instead of depicting a person experiencing an emotion focus on conveying the feeling itself through visual elements.

Come experience our artists’ response to this prompt and enjoy two floors of open studios + galleries this First Friday from 5-8 pm and all month during normal business hours.
