Abstract
AI generated art has risen in popularity significantly over the first few months of 2023 (Cousins, 2023), and the rising saturation of AI art online has many artists wondering if, given a few years, their skills will no longer be necessary. It is entirely possible to imagine a future in which it becomes cheaper, faster, and more efficient for companies and people alike to use AI programs to generate art, and the human element of the creative process is removed. ‘Ink and Ivory’ aims to highlight this growing concern many artists have, and to invoke an appreciation and understanding of the human process of creation as a protest against the monopoly AI art may gain in coming years over the digital and physical art space.
‘Ink and Ivory’ is inherently a five song, shuffleable concept album and a five piece art exhibition tied up in one, exploring the character of ‘Ellery’ and her experience with the five main stages of creation through her journey in sub-liminal, stark white rooms. Both the album and exhibition aim to reinforce the nonlinear nature of human creation, and the importance of human creativity within our culture, our voice, and how we express ourselves. We strongly believe that at a time where AI art is moving past its infancy stage, and creativity is no longer solely practised by humans (Cousins, 2023), it is as important as ever to strengthen the vitality that humans have in the creation of art.
