State of the Art

Story

“State of the Art” is a text and illustration based visual novel made using Ren'Py. It is a narrative experience that allows players to step into the shoes of a traditional artist in a world where artificial intelligence has begun to take over traditional art spaces. This theme was motivated by the currently growing popularity of A.I generated imagery and art. The effects of this have been explosive, with A.I generation sites and applications causing many to question the morality of the software, and its methods of machine learning using human artists’ works. The game will pose the question - will traditional artists’ careers be affected by A.I in the future?
