Our two riverside galleries, Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art , sit 150 metres apart in the Queensland Cultural Centre. An artist posted screenshots to Twitter showing illustration software layers to prove she wasn’t using artificial intelligence. “I do think that a lot of Japanese people would consider art a kind of export,” she told Rest of World. “Finding the capabilities of the model, and the improvement over Stable Diffusion and Dall-E — it can be scary.” The company also had to pause the service for emergency maintenance. Its infrastructure buckled from a spike in traffic, largely from Japan and South Korea, and a hacking incident.

  • The nature of art has been described by philosopher Richard Wollheim as “one of the most elusive of the traditional problems of human culture”.

In other words, an artist’s prime motivation need not be the pursuit of the aesthetic. Also, art often depicts terrible images made for social, moral, or thought-provoking reasons. For example, Francisco Goya’s painting depicting the Spanish shootings of 3 May 1808 is a graphic depiction of a firing squad executing several pleading civilians. Yet at the same time, the horrific imagery demonstrates Goya’s keen artistic ability in composition and execution and produces fitting social and political outrage. Thus, the debate continues as to what mode of aesthetic satisfaction, if any, is required to define ‘art’. In the decades since, these ideas have been somewhat lost as the art market has learned to sell limited edition DVDs of video works, invitations to exclusive performance art pieces, and the objects left over from conceptual pieces.

There have been attempts by artists to create art that can not be bought by the wealthy as a status object. One of the prime original motivators of much of the art of the late 1960s and 1970s was to create art that could not be bought and sold. It is “necessary to present something more than mere objects” said the major post war German artist Joseph Beuys. This time period saw the rise of such things as performance art, video art, and conceptual art.

The National Art Education Foundation invests in innovative initiatives to support instructional practice, research, and leadership in visual arts education.
