ART and INNOVATION - how technology and innovation are impacting the art world.
The Fernie Arts Coop has over 40 local artists showcasing their work on our walls. We’ve always prided ourselves on handmade originality and, with our world quickly changing, artists are now starting to think about how they want to fit into the new digital age.
There are many fascinating ways technology and innovation have been transforming the art world. Especially now with the emergence of AI, the landscape of creativity is evolving rapidly. Artists are now collaborating with algorithms to create stunning pieces that blur the lines between human creativity and machine learning. This fusion of technology and artistry opens endless possibilities for expression. And in the case of some of our artists, its a way of further expressing their creativity.
Alexandra Kozak – Down the AI Rabbit Hole
Alexandra Kozak uses an AI tool called Mid-Journey along with Photoshop to create a foundation reference to work from to help her create her original paintings. Alexandra says: "The challenge lies in refining those Al-generated images, both in photoshop and with paint, to get everything just right. Al might help me imagine a world, but it's my brushwork that gives it life.”
