SUMMARY:CALL FOR ARTISTS: Analog: An Antidote to AI Art
DESCRIPTION:Call for Artists\nENTRY DEADLINE: 9/24/26\nCASH PRIZES: $1000 First Place | $500 Second Place \nIn an era shaped by artificial intelligence\, Analog: An Antidote to AI Art celebrates the enduring power of human imagination\, intuition\, and authentic artistic expression. This exhibition invites artists whose work reflects the distinctly human experience of making\, embracing experimentation\, imperfection\, memory\, materiality\, and lived experience. Rather than rejecting technology\, Analog asks a timely question: What makes art unmistakably human? We welcome original work in all visual art media and genres\, including painting\, sculpture\, ceramics\, printmaking\, textiles\, fiber\, photography\, installation\, mixed media\, assemblage\, drawing\, book arts\, jewelry\, sound art\, olfactive art\, biophilic practices\, and other forms that demonstrate personal vision and meaningful engagement with materials and process. \nAs AI-generated imagery becomes ubiquitous\, Analog turns our attention to what algorithms cannot replicate: intuition\, vulnerability\, touch\, chance\, personal history\, and the countless decisions embedded in the creative process. The exhibition celebrates originality as an expression of curiosity\, resilience\, and the uniquely human impulse to make meaning from the world around us. We seek work that reveals touch\, struggle\, experimentation\, art that reflects the imperfect\, unpredictable\, and deeply personal nature of human creation. \nABOUT THE JUROR \nRoddy Schrock is a sound artist and institution-builder who has spent his career on a single question: what does it actually take to build the conditions under which transformative work can exist\, and endure? Trained at Mills College (MFA in Electronic Music and Recording Media) and the Institute of Sonology in The Hague\, he has performed across Japan\, Europe\, South America\, and the United States\, with commissions from Meet the Composer and Ostrava New Music Days and essays published by MIT Press and Hyperallergic. For a decade he directed Eyebeam\, New York’s center for art and technology\, where he grew direct support to artists more than 500%\, made it the first residency certified by W.A.G.E. for fair pay\, and supported the launch of the Eyebeam Center for the Future of Journalism\, whose commissions garnered a Pulitzer Prize–winning investigation. He has taught in SVA’s Curatorial Practice MA program and at STEIM Amsterdam\, CCA\, and NYU’s ITP\, and created Informer\, a podcast of conversations with artists and thinkers. Now Executive Director of the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care\, he also runs Ultradilute\, a practice tending the whole health of artists and creative leaders\, and advises OPEN and the Netherlands-America Foundation’s Cultural Committee. He lives and works between New York and Providence\, Rhode Island.
