judge

Caleb Weintraub is an Associate Professor, Area Head of Painting,  and Director of Undergraduate Studies at the Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture, and Design at Indiana University. His artwork combines technological and traditional processes, using painting as a means of exploring memory, imagination, and the encoding of experience. Weintraub is currently engaged in two ongoing projects: “Unplain Air: Notes from a Portable Forest,” which redefines plein-air landscape painting through immersive technology, and “A Golem in the Garret,” a series of paintings that reflect on the role of AI in the creative process. His work has been exhibited at venues such as Fredericks & Freiser in New York, Zolla/Lieberman Gallery in Chicago, and the International Museum of Art and Science in Texas, and featured in publications such as New American Paintings, “Signs of the Apocalypse/Rapture” by Front Forty Press, and Juxtapoz Magazine. As a recent fellow of IU’s Institute for Digital Arts and Humanities, Weintraub presented his research on integrating AI into studio practice at conferences in the US and abroad. He co-convenes the “Creativity in the Age of AI” summit, co-developed and co-taught the course “AI in the Studio” in 2023, and is co-convening IU’s 2024 TBS Symposium on ‘Intelligence’, promoting interdisciplinary dialogue on intelligence, broadly interpreted.
