TRANSMEDIAL in PRINT: Showcased at the Print Council of Australia's Gallery, Melbourne in 2024. Echoes: Curated Digital Threads and the Transmedial: AI in Print Telephone Installation by Sarah Robinson & Monika Lukowska drew its premise from a seminal conceptual exhibition, ‘Art By Telephone’ (1969), at The Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, where participating artists instructed the gallery curator on how he and the gallery staff should make their artwork. As contemporary printmakers our knowledge of the world as living, breathing beings shapes how we artistically collaborate to experiment with AI in printmaking.
The audience was invited to leave a recorded three-word message to describe what printmaking is to them. These three words will instruct AI to create new images to capture an AI-generated contemporary outlook on the field of printmaking. The aim of using audience-directed images is to create an impossible manual of printmaking designed for a future of nonsensical printmaking. This manual gives insights into an unfortunate imagined future direction in contemporary printmaking: a future moving away from the human touch, traditional skills, and creatively responsive actions. |

The AI Machine In looking toward the future, Robinson and Lukowska explore the emerging potential of AI and its significance in expanding technologies' impact on image-making. They initiate a conversation with AI through their printmaking practices including woodcut, lithography and etching. Previously showcased in Melbourne at the Print Council of Australia's Gallery, the ‘The AI Machine’ investigates a timely question of impact and reliance on AI and its role within Visual Arts.

Pro-JECTA: If Finds Could Talk

Pro-JECTA: If Finds Could Talk: An exhibition as part of Robinson's Artist in Residence at Rockingham Art Centre, 2024. The work responded to an archaeological dig through woodcut, drawing, and digital values to uncover un-settling settler stories in the Rockingham region of Western Australia. An 1860s settler site called Peelhurst; the cottage ruins appears in the artist's peripheral vision daily-where evidence of human interaction in the environment has emerged through the domestic artefacts found in the surface layers of the archeologically excavated site.
