2023 l Generate
“Generate” is an ongoing series by Thibaud Tchertchian that explores the profound impact of artificial intelligence on the world and art. Shifting from his earlier use of spray paint to the meticulous medium of oil painting, Tchertchian contrasts the tactile, reflective nature of traditional art with the algorithm-driven output of AI. This series, focusing more on landscapes and scenes than previous works, delves into themes such as the coexistence of human creativity and machine logic, the evolution of artistic techniques, and the tension between identity and authenticity in an AI-dominated world. “Generate” echoes his 2015 series “Degenerate,” continuing the exploration of how technological advancements shape artistic expression. Through this series, Tchertchian invites viewers to ponder the future of art, highlighting the ongoing dialogue between human ingenuity and technological progress.
