About the exhibition:

Welcome to “I Prompt, Therefore I Am,” an exhibition that delves into the evolving relationship between creativity and machine thinking in the modern world. As our lives become more intertwined with technology, we question what it means to be creative and how we can harness the power of machines to enhance our artistic expression. Through a range of works in new media, algorithms, digital art, conceptualism, energy, dimensions, and perspectives, this exhibition invites you to explore the complex interplay between human creativity and the capabilities of artificial intelligence. From provocative digital installations to immersive audiovisual experiences, “I Prompt Therefore I Am” challenges you to contemplate the future of art and its relationship with technology. Don’t miss this thought-provoking exhibition that blurs the boundaries between human and machine creativity.
