Before we submit to the demands of our robot overlords, it behooves us to consider the role of technology in our collage practice. In this session, we will hear from two artists who are doing just that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christy Sheffield Sanford<\/strong> has been making and sharing art and writing on the internet since back in the 1990s when it was called the World Wide Web. The Saint Augustine, Florida-based artist initiated the phrase Web-Specific Art and Writing. Her web-specific piece, Red Mona<\/em>, is a collection of “fifty French Flash Cards collaged with images and text appear randomly with French sound files.” The work is being restored by Washington State University. She will show examples of her artwork and speak about her work pioneering this genre and talk about what qualities make a work Web-Specific Art and Writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Atlanta, Georgia, AP Faust <\/strong>writes, “I’m not an AI apologist, but I am curious. A lot of the discourse I hear from artists\/people in my community is fear based and anti-AI, and I think that’s valid and worthy of conversation, too…but as something that exists in the world already and isn’t going anywhere save further into our lives, I have this desire to investigate and look for some silver linings. I don’t think anything will ever match the value of experience, human connection, and learning from people: experts in a field, educators, elders, children, community, each other…but my argument is that there is value in expanded access to knowledge.” Faust will share his experiences and thoughts about using AI as a tool in collage, specifically using Chat GPT to workshop artwork, get feedback, and articulate context to the artwork. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
