Five years after 2021: Where is digital art heading to?

Hi. Perhaps framing digital art as fleeting is the perspective to have. What I mean by that is the mediums “value” lies in it's characteristic of instability within/across time at a pace that, to me, is closer to a human…

Internet art IS public art, don’t forget that. It always has been. The most beautiful aspect of net art is that you can either own it or not, but it is out there for all to see. Also the work is at its most beautiful whe…

I was just reading about prediction markets last week and thought about where an “art work” would fit in this thing. The article @briandroitcour mentioned clarified it for me with this statement. “.....a system busy fina…

I switched from ‘AI’ to ‘ML’ around 2015... Almost no one uses ML anymore, so it still has some semantic growth when AI now just means LLM chatbot.

Hi Ben, thanks for your comment, a few things i’d like to push back : 1. on teh “space is the architecture” point: not sure this is so hard-cut, e.g. many audio diffusion models are actually image models trained on spect…

Yes! I’ve started seeing people address AI based on model/process—stuff like LLM etc!

Isn’t it a bit opportunistic and people not wanting to burn bridges just in case they get a good opportunity in the future (and start liking that person again)? On the other hand, it's also important to note that, unfort…

Thank you, and thanks for sharing! I’ve used a couple of techniques for exploration of unprompted space, but the most straightforward is just not using a prompt lol. Curious how you’ve gone about it. I have a few works f…
When was the last time you were surprised by AI?
Joana Kawahara Lino@joanakawaharalino15 days ago
I agree. I like New/Media Art. I think we live in a very grey area, which is ironic, considering the amount of colour and nuance we collectively bring into the art world, both figurative and literally.

I lean towards digestion/distillation. I think it’s a tool that requires restraint and ethics, which is not present in everyone, despite everyone having access to it (akin to the internet).

Indeed too nested discussion does not seem to work, so here I am too! I think it comes down to what we mean by the “space” explored; I would not assert this is the “latent” space learned from training data, but the hard …
Designed for failure: OpenAI's hack to HuggingFace
On digestion, going slow and whether the custom AI model still matters. The dominating discourse about AI — not only in art but also in the corporate world — still seems to be about its "generative" features: creating more images, using more tokens, more connectors, more ...
