Match Pace grapples with the pressure Artificial Intelligence (AI) art generators place on emerging creatives. What’s a young creative to do if machines can replace even art? AI supporters dismiss criticisms by pointing to similar skepticism across history. The invention of the printing press, the camera, and the computer all yielded outrage despite being commonplace today. Technological advancements often cause panic because their implementation alters the future landscapes, mainly through labor distribution. This exhibition highlights areas of an artist’s labor threatened by AI and asks visitors to consider how this parallels other careers. Maybe a robot can do it, but is that what we want? Human error is persistent and even potentially detrimental, but is art the best discipline for us to fix?
