What is "ARTificial"?
A world-renowned painter discovers that she is in fact a corporate A.I. programme, causing her to confront her maker.
Rebecca, is an painter, who expresses her deepest emotions and desires through art and is often motivated by her traumatic experience. Rebecca finds out that her boss, Tony Dewhurst, has been exploiting the work of anthropomorphic A.I. programmes. This has allowed Tony to possess some of the most invaluable works of art to have been produced this century, This news not only shatters Rebecca's perception of the world, but also made her question her own identity.
Why "ARTificial" makes a significant impact?
- "ARTificial" is a compelling story, which is extremely relevant in modern day and age. With the emergence of AI programmes, there is a common sentiment that it will substitute some of the creative professions. We can see this sentiment manifesting in the writer's strikes in the U.S.
- With "ARTificial" we are telling the story about how AI art is different from art produced by human beings and despite efficacy it will lack personal touch and emotional expression. We can plant the "fake memories" into an AI model, however, we cannot make it react and feel the same way as humans.
- "ARTificial" is comfort for modern anxiety which comes with introduction of AI programmes, as well as excellently written story.
- With "ARTificial" we aim to explore the human-AI relationship; we pose moral questions about exploitation of AI and in general about exploitation in the art industry.
