"Art (Official) Intelligence: Humanity in the Digital Age" brings together the inaugural cohort of Project 14C artists-in-residence to examine how human creativity asserts itself in an era shaped by automation, algorithms, and synthetic imagery. Rather than opposing technological intelligence, the exhibition centers what remains distinctly human: intuition, material decision-making, emotional risk, and imperfect gestures. Working across painting, sculpture, textile, digital media, and performance, the artists construct personal worlds grounded in touch, time, and subjective perception. The works on view prioritize presence over speed, process over output, and vulnerability over polish, asking a timely question: what does it mean to create meaningfully when intelligence is increasingly automated, outsourced, and disembodied? Together, these works insist that art’s power lies not in efficiency or replication, but in the unpredictable act of making.
