WHEN LIFE IMITATES AI
The Gala proudly presents the debut solo exhibition of
YUSKADD
What will happen when life begins to emulate artificial intelligence?
Marking her first solo exhibition, Yuskadd invites you to explore this fascinating and uncertain future through a captivating collection of paintings, sculptures, tufting, and intervened objects.
About the Exhibition
‘When Life Imitates AI,’ the debut solo exhibition by transdisciplinary artist Yuskadd, offers a thought-provoking exploration of the intersections between human creativity and artificial intelligence. Hosted at The Gala, this exhibition delves into the nuanced boundary where human imagination meets the structured logic of algorithms, questioning what remains uniquely human in a world increasingly influenced by automatic creation and recreation through AI image generators.
Yuskadd (Yuri Ortiz), born in Cuautla, Morelos, México, brings a deeply personal narrative to her art. Living "on the other side"—a concept she describes as embracing otherness—her work reflects resistance, survival, and a challenge to established norms through authenticity. Her artistic journey, shaped by profound life experiences, defies societal expectations and explores the limits of creativity through diverse media such as painting, sculpture, tufting, and object intervention.
The central theme of the exhibition lies in recreating her own works across mediums, paralleling how AI generates images based on pre-existing data. However, Yuskadd’s process transcends mere replication. By infusing emotion, intuition, and imperfection, she reinterprets her creations, demonstrating how human creativity diverges from the predictable nature of machines.
In ‘When Life Imitates AI,’ Yuskadd invites viewers to reflect on a critical question: What will happen when life begins to emulate artificial intelligence?
About The Artist
Yuskadd draws inspiration from a lifetime of creative exploration influenced by artists like René Magritte, Yayoi Kusama, and Barbara Kruger, whose works broadened her perspective on femininity and transdisciplinary possibilities. Her journey through various artistic forms, from curatorial work specializing in tattoo artists to managing artistic spaces and collecting art, culminates in a unique approach that combines personal narrative with universal themes of creativity, resilience, and innovation.
This exhibition invites audiences to reflect on their relationship with technology and creativity. By navigating the interplay between algorithmic logic and human intuition, ‘When Life Imitates AI’ celebrates the irreplaceable essence of human art in an era of rapid technological advancement.
