Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Q&A Conversation with Nick Smith and Laura Brandon
Q: What advice do you give artists when they're the ones being copied?
Smith and Brandon advise artists not to react impulsively, to discuss their concerns with trusted mentors or arts professionals, and to seek legal advice if they decide to pursue the matter.
Q&A Conversation with Nick Smith and Laura Brandon
Q: What is a question that you think emerging artists should be asking?
Brandon recommends reflecting on purpose, goals and what success means, while Smith says artists should consider what they want from their practice before deciding how to pursue it.
Q&A with Amber Creswell Bell
Q: Could using AI now hurt my long-term value as an artist, even if it helps me work faster today?
Bell says the answer depends on how AI is used, but argues that artists should disclose it as a material. She believes collectors often value human effort and handmade work, and that using AI-generated source images may undermine an artwork's integrity.
Q&A with Amber Creswell Bell
Q: What is a question that you think emerging artists should be asking?
Bell advises artists to clarify their intentions, including whether they want gallery representation or independence and what they value in a career. Artists should research the gallery landscape and ask professionals about expectations rather than making assumptions.
Q&A with Sarah Birtles & Rachael Parsons
Q: Would using AI tools make you take my work less seriously, even if the final piece was mostly made by hand?
The guests see AI as potentially useful for research, administration, or specific creative purposes, but caution against relying on it to generate ideas or work. They emphasize originality, transparency, and the risk of generic results.
