We often criticize AI while continuing to use it, sometimes unknowingly. A new short documentary by the Strategic National Arts Alumni Project explores artists’ genuine feelings toward this rapidly advancing technology. Premiering exclusively on Hyperallergic, the film draws from a survey of 2,000 art graduates. It’s worth watching.
Dive into Homerist Joel Christensen’s analysis of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, along with reviews of recent films depicting Caravaggio, Georgia O’Keeffe, and the complex muse-artist dynamic between Kate Moss and Lucian Freud. Additionally, prepare for an upcoming film adaptation of the infamous Louvre heist.
