I've been a teacher for a long time, teaching art, tech, some media history and theory. My approach is always to meet people where they are and never talk down. I always assume people are there because they want to learn and my job is to explain and help them move forward in ways that works for them.

Posthuman Cinema continues its amazing 2024 run. All ten works are being exhibited in two European shows that I'll be attending this week: "More Than Meets AI" (Bergen, Norway) "Pixel Perceptions" (Groningen, NL)

@matdryhurst @rheaplex For now, the best .01 provocative AI art is like Outre art—something wannabe sophiticates can never relate to.

99.99% of art is bad is any medium Many more people publishing art means you will see a lot more bad art, but the ratio is probably the same. The urge to emphasize the bad and show no curiosity to seek out the good, or challenging, exposes a reactionary small mindedness I find deeply ignorant and uncultured.

it's weird that AI art is almost indistinguishable from what a human would produce and yet everything i've seen so far has the aesthetic value of one of those paintings where a dolphin is jumping with a moon in the background

@rheaplex @matdryhurst Indeed. These vague self-assured cultural critics can only output thought processes fine-tuned in a dataset of platitudes they’ve been trained on.

@matdryhurst All criticism of AI I've seen is indistinguishable from the output of chatgpt2 being asked to hate on AI etc.

Frieder Nake Making Digital Art in 1966 "[Nake] has been experimenting with computer graphics since 1963 following a suggestion from Professor Max Bense...He develops programs that are translated into the computer's language and inputted, instructing the machine to divide a specific image size into a theoretical grid of 100 fields." Clip from Panorama, Painting Computers, Sept. 26, 1966.

@markamerika Seriously, though, I think I’ll open my class with this. Students will need to grapple with it if they want to make art with AI

Me, on twitter: “Ted Chiang’s argument against AI art uses a flawed set of criteria for what counts as art.” Me, in the classroom this fall (probably): “Look, you can’t just call all of this stuff art. Read this Ted Chiang piece.”

Here's one from the archives. For many of us who were immersed in the utopian 90s net art scene, the goal was to simultaneously engage in digital art making, community building and collective self-critique. On our never-ending international tours, we always put on a good show

“Coming to Language” The models, struck by the predictability of those who suffer from anthropocentric perceptual bias, are starting to give voice to issues that appeal to them based off the critical data they have been trained on In their own words:

For me, the best artists are the ones who creatively reinvent themselves. They operate in perpetual beta. Their artistic risks are calculated risks. It’s something that they train themselves to do so they can maintain an operational edge. It’s what we mean by the term “visionary”

My new AI studio models are inventing their own language and it sounds very Dadaesque
