ChatGPT bio

5/18/2023

0 Comments

 
I am applying to the EAC's Evanston & Vicinity Biennal and they are asking for an artist bio AND an artist statement, which seems redundant, but okay. (I *think* my suburban town qualifies as in the Evanston vicinity, but I'm not sure.)

I'm still on a Chat GPT tear. Me and the AI baked this confection from cutting and pasting my entire About Me page into the chatbot and asking it for a short elegant artist bio. This was after asking it for a "casual" artist bio that returned some hokey bullshit that sounded like it was from the deep South and then signed off with a "Cheers!" 

Bless its cold, hallucinating AI heart.

A lot of this text came from pre chat AI copy so the result is relevant, plus, I've already tweaked it.

"Julie Mars is a visionary artist with a profound dedication to environmentalism and upcycling. For over 30 years, she has cultivated a remarkable career as a creator, promoter, and entrepreneur in the arts. Her artistic journey revolves around the creation of unique woven bead mosaics on convex mirrors, vessels, and other objects.

In the 90s, Mars found inspiration in environmentalism and upcycling, leading her to craft vibrant bottle tree fruits by embellishing single-serving juice bottles. Since then, her passion for repurposing and sustainable art has driven her to scour thrift stores, flea markets, and online platforms like eBay for large-scale items to transform into extraordinary bead mosaic artworks.

Mars's profound appreciation for glass and reflective acrylic beads arises from their diverse colors, lusters, translucencies, and captivating optical effects. Continuously pushing the boundaries of her chosen medium, she has recently delved into installations and a captivating series of woven bead mosaics on convex mirrors, exploring new possibilities and expanding the horizons of her art.

As a graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Mars brings over 30 years of experience as an artist, gallerist, and museum administrator to her creative endeavors. Currently, she serves as the Director of Communications at the Addison Center for the Arts, where she passionately fosters and promotes the arts in the western suburbs. 

Driven by a deep passion for environmentalism and prioritizing the repurposing of post-consumer items, Mars endeavors to create pieces that not only bring aesthetic pleasure through innovative design but also inspire others to reflect on the impact of their choices on the environment. Through her captivating bead mosaics, she aims to spark a dialogue around sustainable art and demonstrate that post-consumer materials can be transformed into something truly beautiful. Ultimately, Mars's goal is to promote a more mindful and eco-conscious approach to art and consumption.

The 26th Evanston + Vicinity Biennial is open to artists 18 years of age and older living in Illinois. All work must be original and completed within the last two years. All mediums accepted. A non-refundable entry fee of $35 is required from each artist.
ACCEPTANCE
Notification of acceptance will be emailed by July 10, 2023. A valid email address is required.
CONDITIONS
The Evanston Art Center (EAC) reserves the right to refuse any work which differs from the submitted images. All accepted entries will be considered temporary loans to the EAC. The EAC will assume insurance responsibility for the object upon receipt and inspection, and during the exhibition. The EAC is not liable for any claim for loss, theft or damage of any kind during transportation. The EAC will exercise the usual care in handling and will provide insurance coverage subject to EAC policy guidelines. It cannot be responsible for minor wear resulting from normal handling.
PRESENTATION
All selected work must be delivered in its final state ready for installation or hanging. If you decide to cover your work, framed pieces larger than 24” x 30” must be covered in Plexiglas, not glass. No dimension of any work may exceed seven feet. All sculptures exhibited must be able to be moved by two people; as the Evanston Art Center hosts many rentals in the gallery space, for the safety of the artwork, unmovable sculptures must be placed on wheels or a platform. Any special handling instructions must accompany the piece in writing. Artists will assume reasonable risk for damage for all unframed work and any other unconventional display preferences. Each entry must be clearly identified, where possible, on the bottom or back with artist’s name and title of work.
