Machinations of a Godless Mind, 2023
an exhibition curated by jo+kapi

Exhibition at HATCH Art Project from March 17 - March 26, 2023.

  • Many cultures consider humanity to be created in the image of god. Our unique ability to reason and generate novel ideas have empowered humans across history to imagine new possibilities and breathe life into both magnificent works of art and significant scientific breakthroughs alike.

    With artificial intelligence modeled after the likeness of our own minds, humanity has sought to recreate this unique brilliance. Within just the last year, AI has quickly entered the everyday lexicon of the general public, upending centuries-old notions surrounding the value we place on ourselves as intelligent beings.

    Machinations of a Godless Mind is an artist-led group exhibition that seeks to question the human condition of perceiving meaning from and ascribing intent to the actions of these seemingly ‘thinking’ autonomous machines that grow ever more present in our lives.

    With the art scene recently forced to contend with paradigm shifting developments such as AI image generators, Machinations of a Godless Mind is a provocation to confront synthetic intelligences and rethink the role of human creativity amongst autonomous generative algorithms in contemporary art.
