When Your Computer Has an Artistic Crisis: Algorithmic Art and the Digital Monstrosity You Never…
- Generative algorithms are making art, music and installations that seem intentional even though they have been created without human input, thanks to constraints and rules, according to CNET.
- These constraints create randomness, allowing the computer to, in essence, create its own algorithms that meet the parameters set by the coder or user.
- Art made by computers and artificial intelligence is being deployed in actual serious art installations that can interact with the shapes, movements and actions of viewers.
- But AI artists are not just creating art artificially, they are using machine learning to learn and evolve, according to CNET.
- One of the fascinating things about algorithmic art is the strange hybrid of mathematics, chaos theory and aesthetics that it brings into existence.
- As algorithms become more sophisticated, they are likely to be creating more than chocolate boxes and digital squirrels holding lightsabers, but art that resonates with us in new ways and forms its own aesthetic, bringing new meaning to the term artificial intelligence.
- The oddity and unpredictability of algorithms' outputs suggests that the artistic process will continue to surprise, not just art makers but anyone who is curious and bold enough to explore art's growing connections to computer science and machine learning.
- Algorithmic art is thereby reshaping the boundaries of creativity in ways we're still struggling to understand. It's no longer just a curiosity; it's a full-blown member of the science and art alliance.
- The field forces us to reconsider what it means to be an artist and who gets to call themselves one. Does a computer have feelings, artistic integrity and an understanding of the human condition?
- As these questions become more pressing, so too do the possibilities that art computer art is shifting our perceptions of creativity and the expressive qualities of machines and software.
