Futures of GLOW?

Stationsplein & De Groene Toren

Imagine having the opportunity to create a light artwork. Would you revert to previous artworks you’ve seen, perhaps even (un)consciously imitating elements of them? Or would you set your creative mind free, unrestricted by any limitations? Fontys ICT Delta, a student team from Fontys University, offers you this chance. Not through a traditional brainstorming session where you organize all your thoughts and ideas into a mind map, but with the assistance of specialized AI technology. With just one click, you can bring a light artwork to life. You are in control of new discoveries, you are the light artist! And as you view potential light art through the eyes of a machine, it becomes clear that this exhibition provides an opportunity to translate creativity into tangible art.

In a world where technology and art are becoming increasingly intertwined, it’s undeniable that there is also more interaction between computers and people. This raises an important question: is the rise of AI a progress for all of us, as it enhances creativity and artistic possibilities? Or is it a threat to authentic art, as it allows us to ‘borrow’ ideas from others for our own works?
