The Irreplaceable Human – The Conditions of Creativity in the Age of AI
23.11.23 - 1.4.24
What are the conditions of creativity in the age of Artificial Intelligence (AI)? And are we to fear that AI will eventually take over and surpass our own human creative abilities? This large-scale exhibition attempts to identify the phenomenon of creativity from a broad, humanistic perspective while incorporating art, literature, cultural history, science etc.
In The Irreplaceable Human – the Conditions of Creativity in the Age of AI, Louisiana presents yet another exhibition that mixes art with objects from other disciplines. The aim is to render visible an idea, a phenomenon or a world that in different ways impacts our sense of self as humans. Previous exhibitions of this kind at the museum include: Arctic (2013), The Moon (2018) and Mother! (2021).
The Irreplaceable Human endeavours to pin down the nature of creativity from a broad, humanistic perspective. It will be an interdisciplinary exhibition, incorporating art, literature, cultural history, sociology and science.
The exhibition looks not only at the field of culture, but also at society in general, revealing how creative processes are crucial in every ‘backwater’ and at every level. In other words, it is not a tribute to art, but an investigative story about the value of creativity, which is as vital in the laboratory as in the studio.
Creativity may not be about what we do, but how we do it. Hence, the exhibition will also explore the value of things in our society that we rarely prize, be it in working life, the education system or our own inner life.
The exhibition is supported by A.P. Møller Fonden, Aage og Johanne Louis-Hansens Fond & Det Obelske Familiefond.
