At first glance, we see a pretty arrangement of blue flowers that could easily grace a Delft dinner plate, but on closer inspection the print is considerably more complex. Artist Sofia Crespo uses AI to reimagine nature, generating pictures of hybrid life forms. By challenging the boundaries of her imagination, she creates beguiling images based on jellyfish, spiders, and other organisms.
In this podcast series, the Chicago Booth School of Business explores the themes portrayed in the art on view at its London campus. Taking a pioneering approach, the school uses art as a tool to inspire curiosity in its MBA students and to stimulate discussion around global issues.
Join presenter Emma Clark as she interviews artists to unpack the complexities in their work and explore how art deals with globalisation, racial identity, gender, the role of media and so much more.
