AI && Art: How and why does Generative AI create Art? Are the images, videos, and experiences created by people using AI Art? Can anyone create Art now? Are machines already creative?

AI與藝術:生成式AI如何以及為什麼能創造藝術?由人們使用AI創造的圖像、影片和體驗算是藝術嗎?現在每個人都能創作藝術嗎?機器已經具備創意了嗎?

This class takes place at the Glitch Art Gallery, 藝術宮 Artgong, 龍山文創基地 Longshan Cultural & Creative Base, 台北,台灣 (Taipei, Taiwan) in the context of the Wondermundo solo exhibition entitled “¡¡¡wonderful Wondermundo!!!” curated and taught by jonCates

“This solo exhibition presents the work of Wondermundo in the Age of AI, to paraphrase the famous book by Walter Benjamin (The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction). Mexican-American Artist Wondermundo makes self-portraits with the latest AI technologies rather than cameras. In her Art we find the futures of frontier technologies, where AI can most accurately represent us. Wondermundo’s self-portraits show us who she really is, internally, emotionally, and artistically. The exhibition takes place both physically and online, via the Digital Art platform objkt, on the Tezos blockchain.
14 works featured in the physical space, 44 pieces available online.”…
