Gr\u00e1inne Smith is a visual artist based in Dublin working primarily with video, sound and photography. They often depict aspects of virtuality and content consumption in their work. They credit the influence of David O\u2019Reilly, Keiken and Ryan Trecartin. They participated in a curatorial project run by the Highlanes Gallery in Drogheda which involved the curation of a group exhibition, titled\u00a0In Sense of Place: Student Select\u00a0<\/i>(2016 \u2013 2017). They exhibited in the IADT student show\u00a0New Translations\u00a0<\/i>at IMMA (2019),\u00a0Open Submission 2020\u00a0<\/i>in the Highlanes Gallery (2020) and in\u00a0Propositions\u00a0<\/i>at IADT (2022).<\/p>\n

Kevin Donnelly Artist Statement:<\/p>\n

Currently my art as a practice is video and concept-based that utilises current technology and AI as a tool to couple visual and video processes. I like to think about the line between art and technological\u00a0 advances and appreciate the variety using digital art forms. I often include a performance element to<\/p>\n

explore personal and social topics. In my recent work my performance has related to social media,\u00a0 data and machine learning. I like to juxtapose the quality of the narrative I am creating to the many\u00a0 alternative functions technology offers us. My current research is an experimentation of using\u00a0 artificial intelligence as an art assisted tool. I found the most interesting aspect of AI\/machine\u00a0 learning was when it is compared with the human experience of creating and producing a piece that\u00a0 balances both my artistic and technological abilities.<\/p>\n
