Glitched Reality: AI Meets CAM’s Collection is a student pop-up exhibition where Niagara University and Niagara Falls High School students use AI to reinterpret artworks from CAM’s permanent collection as inspiration for their own original works. Through digital tools and personal expression, students explore themes of identity, environmental change, and the future of art.

This project encourages students to experiment with digital storytelling, prompt engineering, and artistic innovation—pushing the boundaries between human creativity and machine learning. By transforming traditional portraits, landscapes, and folk art through AI, they create thought-provoking pieces that bridge the past and present through the creative “glitch” of AI.
