A meditation on the current state of creativity, featuring missives from Anne Boyer, Olga Ravn and Audre Lorde
This volume delves into that ineluctable, daunting question: what does creativity mean today? The development of artificial intelligence is once again causing us to consider what it is precisely that renders humanity unique. Historically, one of the answers has been creativity, but many argue that the contemporary age does not provide optimal conditions for human creativity to flourish. The Irreplaceable Human sifts through those thorny conditions, calling upon curators, academics and writers to sound off on the evolving role of creativity through their specific topics of interest, from creativity and childhood to the newest research on different types of creativity to creativity in regards to AI. Following the related exhibition at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, this catalog compiles a commanding list of contributors, including American Pulitzer Prizewinner Anne Boyer and Danish novelist Olga Ravn, and features additional texts by Audre Lorde and Thomas Mann.
