The Disruption of AI-Generated Art and Its Impact on Humanity

Artificial intelligence generating art , shook the very concept of humanity. Until then, the ability to create art was one of the human qualities that set us apart from all other known beings. This disruption was a key motivator for Eva Prada to start her series Technology Supercycle."

Exploring Imperfections in AI-Generated Art

"Human Generated Art" features a romanticized portrayal of David, Eva’s partner of 13 years, as a nod to the falsity and pretentiousness of these early AI-generated artistic endeavors. The inclusion of a third arm and the anatomical inaccuracies in the fingers directly reference the initial phase where AIs struggled to accurately depict human anatomy.

The Paradox of Machine Fallibility

This paradox—where machines, often thought to be infallible, displayed clear errors—led Eva to reconcile with, or at least empathize with, this technology. The painting serves as a reflection on this irony, emphasizing the humanization of AI through its mistakes.

The Evolution of AI-Generated Art

The rapid development of artificial intelligence has led to significant changes in the way art is created and perceived. This painting is Eva's first attempt to record and register the evolution of AI-generated art and how it continues to challenge traditional notions of creativity.
