Current discussions surrounding AI feature heavily on the implications impacting the originality of the artwork. This exhibition questions how creatives might combat such perceived threats in contemporary art today. The selected artists highlight an approach to our ever progressing digital world while maintaining a commitment inclusive of the human hand. Technological progress is moving at an unflinching speed towards a goal or purpose that we are struggling to comprehend. In this current digital climate, the act of human creation with physical materials comes into contradiction and contrast with the increasing abilities of generative tools and artificial intelligence. In a moment when even AI ethicists are struggling to find the moral centre, artists and creatives must adapt in order to sustain their practices within this new framework. The artists selected for this exhibition all show an attempt to embrace and subvert digital technologies within their practice. Their works are rooted in an analogue approach to making that then engages and undergoes a computational process. The overriding impression is not that the works are built using assistive technology, but that they are informed by it. Natural Rhythm and Other Moral Panic offers a place where concerns surrounding our new digital world can be questioned and addressed. The artist and the audience align in the moment, as they both come to witness a certain fragility in the way that the world is progressing, while simultaneously showcasing the essence of what it means to be an artist.
