EXCERPT:
As a full-time painter and educator, I can say with certainty that technology has completely changed the art world. I am passionate about it and use it every day in my practice. Not only to paint—today, artists like myself also use it to teach students from all over the world and make art more accessible. I welcome tech as a tool for efficiency, connectivity and education. Some artists have even built their entire creative careers using digital tools and platforms. Technology is allowing creativity to be transferred in powerful and exciting ways. But there is a major issue that comes with that: A.I.
Using technology to create and share art is not the same as replacing artistic creation with technological creation; something essential is lost when the creative process itself disappears. But as A.I.-generated content becomes more common online, I believe there will be a moment when we see a shift in the opposite direction: people, tired of being overwhelmed with artificial images, moving back toward authentic handmade creation. Humans connecting with the people and emotions behind the art.
