Join us in the STUDIO on Tuesday April 1st at 5:30 PM for an artist lecture by Kyle McDonald!
They told us that making art is easy now, anyone can be creative. The machine ate our work, and they don’t need us anymore. Is it all AI slop from here on out? Kyle will give a brief history of how we got here, followed by examples of alternative approaches to using AI, beyond making more pictures of Donald Trump and Elon Musk making out on top of a bloodied planet.

This event is made possible with the support of the 2024-2025 Sylvia and David Steiner Speaker Series, CoDeLab, CMU School of Architecture, and the Frank-Ratchye STUDIO for Creative Inquiry.
