Fall 2024 Student Response Exhibition Call for Entries

Theme

ARTificial Intelligence

A Student Response Exhibition

PREMISE

In this ninth juried Student Response Exhibition (SRE), Miami University students are called upon to creatively respond to a theme - Artificial Intelligence (AI). This Fall 2024 SRE, will be on display in conjunction with Miami University's FOCUS theme of Artificial Intelligence led by the Department of ETBD (Emerging Technology in Business and Design).

Students are asked to creatively reflect and respond to the theme of AI. This exhibition is intended to elicit responses that illustrate how creative expression can be used to observe, understand, represent, and draw attention to the growing AI field. Artificial Intelligence offers many possibilities in this ever-changing world in which technology and computers play a vital role in almost all we do. It has also become a controversial topic for many, including artists, as it has blurred the lines between what is real and what is fabricated, what is original and what has been appropriated. Interpretations are subject to the student's personal perspective, major/minor, year of study, culture, age, and experiences.

As a juried exhibition, all works will be selected through a formal process by a committee. Three works in the exhibition will receive cash awards based on votes cast by visitors to the exhibition. Winners will be announced at a special reception on Wednesday, November 13, 2024, during a public awards ceremony. ARTificial Intelligence will be on display at the Richard and Carole Cocks Art Museum, August 27–December 14, 2024.
