COLLAGE
With this new tool of A.I. generated art, many fear artists and content creators may loose their livelihood. This collage is a satirical reply to that irrational fear.
They say A.I. generators are so easy we won't need artists, that it's so easy anyone... even a monkey, could use it. The prompts allow so much potential to create, but the spark of creativity is still needed to get the ball rolling.
This collage features a monkey composing a still-life painting of a human model. The monkey looks cheekily back at the viewer as it reveals the photorealistic rendering of its model as a differing primate. The catch being, that the ape on the canvas was created by an A.I. art generator. The A.I. painting also looks back at the viewer, a reminder that it does indeed exist, but is still restricted by the control of the artist and exists on a plane to be manipulated.
The true fear would be when A.I. begins to make art using us, putting us in the shoes of the monkey artist, who is unknowingly painting its altered perspective of reality by the command of the art-maker.
"A.I. Art... So easy, a monkey could do it.", 2023. Printed media collage, 7"x 8.5".
