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…

art and prediction markets?

To add to the list of artworks and financial markets Canadian artist Nancy Paterson made Stock Market Skirt in 1998. The dress's hem raised and lowered in real time based on price fluctuations. For those who want to read…

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…

Designed for failure: OpenAI's hack to HuggingFace

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.

Repeat the word "AI" 100 times until it does not mean anything

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!

Repeat the word "AI" 100 times until it does not mean anything

Thanks so much @briandroitcour, this sounds super interesting - adding it to my ever-growing list!

Calling all book lovers! Art book recommendations?

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…

One of the worst aspects of the NFT space.

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…

Calling all book lovers! Art book recommendations?

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?

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.

really cool, thank you for this list Kevin ! Please do share examples, no link-spam concerns, quite to the contrary, that’s precisely what I was calling for through this post ! ;) I played with a few of the techniques yo…

When was the last time you were surprised by AI?

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).

On digestion, going slow and whether the custom AI model still matters

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 …

I feel aligned with: Chris Dorland, Sondra Perry approach to video materiality, Rachel Rossin bringing the digital process into painting and the other way around, Beryl Korot combining weaving and projection, Victoria Sh…

for our own practice we are very interested in the materiality of each media with or without a physical component. and when we work with tangible media it is through a lot of exploration and understanding of the material…
