Maryland Art Place will open ARTificial, an exhibition in critical discourse with the utilization, implementation, and innovation of AI in art making on January 22. The exhibition will include a number of prints by UMBC Visual Arts professor Timothy Nohe.

ARTificial is on view January 22 to March 14 with an opening reception on January 22 from 6 to 9 pm. There is no charge for admission to the exhibition or its reception.

ARTificial will explore the ways in which artists engage with AI and how it has shaped the arts since its inception. As access to AI tools increase, our engagement with AI informs how we interface with the environment, our communities, and our work. All artworks exhibited do not necessarily utilize AI, but challenge our perception of media, technology and digitization. Exhibiting artists critique, engage, reimagine and challenge AI as simultaneously a tool and collaborator. AI is a system shaped by human decisions, datasets and cultural assumptions. Artists in dialogue with AI are unavoidably considering concepts surrounding ethics, authorship, bias, and posthumanist sentiments. Collectively, the exhibition invites sustained reflection on how algorithmic technologies reshape aesthetic production and cultural meaning.
