Pete Burkeet - Manifestation 3

Daily.xyz - Post Photographic Perspectives III: Taming the Machine is DAILY's third group show and presents artists who are fighting machine hallucinations to create a distinctive voice within the myriad of synthetic images being produced today.

In this push and pull, new propositions of forms and narratives are being developed that emanate a tension between the generic production of images these algorithmic tools are intended to create and the creators' desires to impose their artistic visions.

The very act of integrating AI into the artistic process raises questions about authorship and authenticity. As the machine learns and adapts, generating outputs that can surprise and even transcend initial expectations, artists must decide where to draw the line. The fear of becoming mere operators, guiding a process rather than birthing a vision, looms large.
