This show presents new works by artists using generative AI practices to bring provocations of self-reflection, interconnectivity, sacred practices, visceral energies, and the infinitely broad spiritual world.

The possibilities of AI art making appear to have an analogous vastness to the manifestations of spirit and energy. The artists of In Spirit leverage the boundless creative freedom of these tools to share works in myriad formats and styles, expressing their own visions and commentary in moving works, painterly styles, photographic images, and multimedia creations.

Through these artworks, we feel the ‘hand and heart’ of the artist and observe something that turns our attention inwards, towards a sense of connection with something deeper. Art itself can be said to instigate the perception of spirit by sharing the ineffable, by offering a connection to something universal, and by expressing the inner ‘voice’ that exists beyond our mental chatter. These experiences – regardless of their form or what we see – are present in this show, in spirit. This brings the essence of art to the forefront of perception. From overt messages to subtle inflections, the works point to the common spirit we all share.
