Located in the scenic hills of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, Flaxton Gardens is the host venue for the 2023 Sculpture on the Edge. Now in its 13th year, the annual sculpture competition is coordinated by Arts Connect Inc, a volunteer-run, membership-based, not-for-profit group. The 2023 program includes the annual exhibition, workshops, artists’ talks, guided tours, special events and even large-format catalogues for visitors with visual impairments.
Magali Feuga’s Captcha is an ode to the impact of artificial intelligence on humanity and is cleverly constructed of computer keyboard caps, cardboard and papier-mâché to form a large face – half in repose while the other half is covered in computer keyboard caps. This juxtaposition of two very different materials subtly conveys another aspect of the work – human versus AI.
