IB DP Visual Arts Exhibition: In/Humanity
In/HUMANITY showcases a group of multidisciplinary artists who investigate the complex interplay between external influences and internal identity formation in the contemporary world. Against the backdrop of a rapidly changing technological landscape, where the rise of algorithms and human-coded artificial intelligence is transforming the way we understand ourselves, the artists in this exhibition offer a critical commentary on the impact of these developments - present and future - on our sense of self and our relationship with the world around us.
Through their use of diverse media, such as painting, sculpture, photography, and multimedia installations, the artists in In/HUMANITY invite viewers to engage in a contemplative journey of self-reflection, questioning the societal pressures and commercialized rhetoric that influence our choices and shape our sense of society and self. They explore the ways in which external forces can lead to feelings of alienation and disconnection, and how this may be amplified by the increasing prevalence of technological determinism in our daily lives. Through their thought-provoking works, the artists challenge us to seek a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between internal and external influences in the contemporary world, and to contemplate our place within this evolving landscape.
Ultimately, In/HUMANITY invites us to embark on a journey of self-discovery and introspection, one that leads us towards a more nuanced and empathetic understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Through this exhibition, we are prompted to confront the inhumanity of our current cultural landscape and to engage in positively shaping the future of our collective existence.
