The development of artificial intelligence (AI) has prompted artists to re-evaluate the ways in which we make art. With text-to image AI’s speed of creation and ability to create images by learning from an innumerable library of images from all over the world, some may posit that the artist is no longer necessary in the creation of art. Acknowledging Intuition (AI) is an exhibition that takes its starting point from a creative brief produced by a generative AI (ChatGPT) from the prompt “an art exhibition that re-evaluates the intersection of text and image against the growing pervasiveness of text-to-image generative artificial intelligence”. Through actualising the vision of a generative artificial intelligence, the exhibition will raise the question, “What does it take to be an artist?” The public will be invited to submit descriptive texts prior to the exhibition to add to the installation’s source material.
