Diena Georgetti: The Civilisation of the Abstract

How is artistic creation evolving in a world grappling with artificial intelligence? Diena Georgetti (b. 1966, Mparntwe/Alice Springs) tackles this question head-on by using AI – the ability of machines to complete tasks usually requiring human intelligence – in the creation of her work.

Georgetti’s approach builds on her longstanding practice of borrowing and remixing diverse imagery and styles. She draws from analog sources, like magazines and catalogues, as well as the internet, creating collages that serve as the basis for her abstract paintings. Like an electronic musician, Georgetti samples, manipulates and recombines her found material until the original sources are barely discernible, creating new or unexpected meanings and associations.
