New Media Artist
Abstract: In the contemporary era, the intersection of art and artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing creative expression. This talk examines how artists and AI collaborate to transcend traditional boundaries and redefine artistic creation. By integrating AI as both a creative medium and a conceptual tool, artists are experimenting with new forms, resulting in algorithmic art that challenges and expands human creativity. We will explore groundbreaking projects that showcase AI’s role as a co-creator, enhancing innovation and depth in art. This talk will also pose critical questions such as: “If AI creates all, what is art?” We aim to uncover the transformative power of AI in the art world and its implications for the future of creativity.
