Babble On: Brie Trenerry

Brie Trenerry ‘s new project BABBLE ON explores the profound implications of artificial intelligence (AI) and our pursuit of a collective consciousness. Through a combination of text-based collages, 3D holographic works, and AI-generated video animations, Trenerry draws inspiration from the timeless tale of the mythical Tower of Babel as a poignant metaphor of our own hubris. Today, the exponential growth of AI poses a greater challenge to human communications than any of the towering structures we create. While our architectural accomplishments have reached unprecedented heights, it is the god-like nature of AI, with its ambiguous power to both dismantle and perplex that raises significant concerns in a “post truth” world. Trenerry asks us to consider the escalating babble of AI and its role in shaping the future. Will it continue to speak for us, even without a visible mouth, unless we, as its creator, intervene?
