Welcome to Beauty Ever New, a podcast about Catholic Art and Architecture. Our name is inspired by a celebrated phrase from St. Augustine where he laments his late arrival into the splendor of God’s truth. We invite you to join us as we have conversations with artists, architects, musicians, fundraisers, scholars and more, about how to bring beauty into our churches and communities. If you are a seminarian, a priest or bishop, a committee member in your parish, or a parishioner who wonders Sunday after Sunday, why your church looks a certain way, then we hope you will join us, this podcast is made for you.
The future is here, it is just unevenly distributed.
Automation is a reality, and a growing part of the design and construction world. In this episode Chris lobs topics, or aspects of design and construction at Rafa and he gives his best “mid 2021” guess as to if it can, will never be, or already is automatable.
Then we talk about the virtues and vices of art that is “created” by an AI or a non-human intelligence, if that is even a thing.
If you had to choose between a perfect, super affordable, machine made design, or a flawed, expensive, man-made one, which would you choose? What value does a human made object obtain from it’s creator?
