Abstract zum Thema des Kolloquiums
Artificial intelligence (AI) is profoundly transforming both artistic creation and its teaching, redefining the concepts of creativity and the role of the artist. In the realm of visual art production, AI facilitates the rapid and economical generation of works through algorithms that learn and replicate artistic styles, raising questions not only about the legitimacy of AI as a co-creator but also about the future of plastic and visual creation. Additionally, AI can enable new forms of collaboration and artistic exploration, democratizing access to the visual and symbolic production that characterizes art. The rapid development of AI has significantly impacted the basis of artistic creation, posing questions about the future of Visual Art in a world where technology plays an increasingly central role in creative processes.
Important: The language for the colloquium and the talk will be English.
