As most know by now, technology is not automatically and necessarily pro-nature. 

A lot of hype and faith are invested in technology, as if it is the only route to take to solve all the problems of the earth and to fulfill our aspirations when in reality, we think it should be, at most, a minor player in the grand scheme of things. Sure, technology is behind many of the fun and shiny gadgets and other inventions we use throughout our daily lives, but depending excessively on these will certainly cause a detachment from our own sensitivities, capabilities and growth.

An example of this, we feel, is in the growing presence of AI generated art. Throughout the centuries we have seen the impressive evolution of artistic expression and only in the last century or so have we seen the beginnings of a sort of devolutionary force come into play. By all means this force has not eliminated the works of the truly talented, but it has blurred the lines between art and something else of lesser content. This has left incrementally less space for the best-practices and started a process by which human input is pushed ever-more towards a form of obsolescence.

Today, we see AI generated art taking a leap towards the completely technological control of one of the activities that has inspired humanity since before history was recorded. The markets are gradually providing more and more space and motivation to follow the path of AI in art and this fits in perfectly with what we have described in the first lines of this article.

Many may think that this is “progressiveness” and that tech is the answer-all to our prayers and problems, but we strongly feel that all that is delegated to tech to do, turns into less autonomy on the part of the individual. This is the worst trend we can imagine for our future.

Surely, technology is a great support to human activity, but we should beware when it is used to make us obsolete, controlled and monitored by a faceless, heartless system that is cold by design.

SANCTUM IN NATURE is a project, conceptualized and organized to use tech to assist human-centric creativity, art, architecture and freedom of expression in general, all in harmony with nature.

Join our Community. This adventure is our holistic approach that goes far beyond fun and entertainment, although these aspects are prominently part of the project as well. One of our fundamental objectives is to promote human creativity through the new avenues made possible by tech and the markets that ensue. Humanity needs to develop its independent potential like never before, because we as humans have never before really had a chance to make this a priority for all, and not just for a few at the top.

The future is right around the corner and we would very much like to live better in it, together with everyone else.
