Real Magic investigates narratives of ancient mythology, post-pandemic consumer culture and artificial intelligence by incorporating aspects of sculpture, text and exhibition design. Central to the exhibition is a collection of hand-crafted ceramic figurines based on AI-generated images. Reflecting on the relationship between digital asset and raw material, this installation draws equivalence to a group of mythological deities dating back to 4500 BCE, and invites viewers to consider the role of the artist in an age of new technologies.
