Join Nimrod Weis, artist and founder of art and technology studio ENESS and the creator of Modern Guru and the Path to Artificial Happiness, for a talk about the exhibition, AI and technology in art. Modern Guru and the Path to Artificial Happiness is an immersive new media installation that uses the intersection of art and technology to explore modern paths to happiness through a warped world of digital technology and AI. Modern Guru is a statement about the strangeness of AI and its carnivorous appetite for human creative output. As AI trawls through the history of human cultural endeavour – mapping and mimicking human artistry – what does it create but outcomes that currently appear hollow? By contrast, human-made creativity resonates on a different level and as humans, we can feel the authentic hand of the artist irrespective of how strange the intention is.
