Ybor City arts nonprofit Tempus Projects has two new exhibits: one celebrating manmade handiwork and another questioning and challenging artificial intelligence.

The first, “From All Sides of the Page at Once,” brings both traditional and experimental printmaking artists together to showcase various techniques.

“Together, these works center printing as a practice of physical labor, repetition, reversal, and layered meaning—where process is as present as image,” per the show’s press release.

The second show, “All I Ever Want Is Just to Fall Into Your Human Hands,” is a juried group exhibition with works inspired by or made with AI.

“Whether speculative, humorous, or critical, this art questions AI’s influence, addresses its aesthetics, wrestles with ethics, and examines the impacts of machine intelligence on our inner lives and shared realities,” the show’s description reads.

Both exhibitions run Jan. 15-March 19 with public opening receptions on Friday.

There is no cover for Tempus Projects’ opening receptions, happening Friday, Jan. 16 in Ybor City.

Pitch in to help make the Tampa Bay Journalism Project a success.
