12:06 AM, An Artist's Response to the A.I. ‘crisis’

A.I. is only the most recent technological advancement touted to be the “death” of artists, like Jacobson, and this collection reflects the anxiety that accompanies such grim predictions. Yet, the very existence of an art show suggests hope.

While traditionally a painter, in this series Jacobson experiments with a wide variety of tools and techniques, including ‘rival’ practices like A.I. Bringing together his fears, curiosity, determination, and creativity, Jacobson constructs a show of artistic resilience. In embracing the tools that mark his fall, could he be making a deal with the devil? Witness the crossroads at “12:06 AM.”
