A project by the Glen Arbor Arts Center will examine the relationship between people and machines in the creation of art.
It’s called “By Hand” and it wants to take a moment to pause in our technocentric world and raise some critical questions.
"The further away we get from hand processes and I'm using by hand broadly, the more estranged we become from our inherent creativity," said exhibit manager Sara Bearup-Neal. "Do we want to be creators or machine operators?"
The project will examine A.I.'s relationship to how things are created, making music and the use of tech in architecture. There will also be an exhibition of visual art.
It won't be an indictment of using tools to create something per se, but rather an exploration about how people can strike a balance between the use of technology and simply creating or working by hand.
"We're not going to change the world with one exhibition and project," Bearup-Neal said. "But we can start putting questions out there. And the hope is people will go away and start seeing how these questions stack up against their own life experience."
