News Cogito Ergo Sumthing exhibitback to Gallery

A visual exploration of Descartes' observation on what it means to be human (cogito ergo sum | I think therefore I am) in the age of artificial intelligence or 'bots with thoughts'.
The artist invites the viewer to contemplate with Descartes the physical body, the mind, and the toil of living in harmony with the fragility, flaws and the beautiful irregularities of being alive and human in the age of 'artificial intelligence' and its inevitable imperfections with rigid consequences.
