In an age of endless production of works with generative tools such as Dall-e and Midjourney, questions are raised about the value and role of creators. Why do we even need them anymore if we can copy the style of any author and create the image we want with a few keywords?
Generate! explores generative artistic production and its future development. Using a bot that generates new collages from the artist’s past projects such as HAOS, Archive Triglav, Troglav and Bring to Front, the exhibition demonstrates the seemingly infinite capacity of generative art. This of course raises questions about the authenticity and value of mechanically generated works, but it also demonstrates the potential of generative art, such as the automated production of works while the artist rests.
Selected works will be available for sale, and visitors can assess whether they are unique works by the artist or just another of the mass-produced posters that adorn the living rooms of our society.
Emil Kozole is a designer working in the field of new technologies, co-founder of the design studio Ljudje and the art collective freštreš. He occasionally records the design podcast Bring to Front. He is a regular lecturer at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design.
