Hi Primavera! (Maybe we should ask for a better threaded way of conversations like this working!) 1. Indeed you could train a DCN on any matrix information, from fields to spectrographs to surfaces because we could map t…

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…

I've been thinking the same thing, and at times it feels as though the situation is actually worsening as our circle gets smaller. There are, of course, notable exceptions, women who are "still making it" in terms of sal…

I loved Martha Schwendener’s book Society of the Screen. It’s about Vilem Flusser, who has become known as a media theorist, but focuses on his engagement with artists and art criticism. He was friends with and wrote abo…

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@joanakawaharalino12 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.

Joana Kawahara Lino@joanakawaharalino13 days ago
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).

B. Bogart@bbogart13 days ago
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 …

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 ...
When was the last time you were surprised by AI? I’m often impressed by the quality of AI, sometimes I’m even fooled into believing that something that is not real is real, but I’m hardly ever “surprised” by seeing something I had never seen before,...
