Exhibition | Hallucination – Belinda Stanton

FREE ADMISSION | GALLERY OPEN: Wednesday to Sunday 10.30am – 3.30pm | Closed Monday, Tuesday & Public Holidays

Belinda is interested in exploring how our minds work, how we translate and communicate thoughts visually, and how these tangible images become a physical record of our contemporary experiences. Recently she has been looking at the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) image generation technologies and likens it to using a camera obscura, where we are presented with a distorted view of reality.

In Hallucination, Belinda explores how AI creates images from user inputs, online sources, and labelling systems, and how they mirror our cultural norms, and societal biases. She thinks that by using new technologies she can connect with the zeitgeist of the early 21st century. The work shown in this exhibition was made by merging the artist's existing 2D and 3D art with an AI model, the visuals provided by AI were then remixed and reworked to be used as reference materials to create traditional oil paintings and 3D printed sculptural work.

Join us for an Artist Talk event on Saturday 6 April at 1pm.

Free event | All welcome | No bookings required.
