This lecture is based on insights developed in a research seminar organised at the University of Copenhagen’s Department of Arts and Cultural Studies in 2024, which hosted artists and researchers investigating generative AI (GenAI). It proposes a framework for categorising artistic approaches to working critically with and on GenAI, resulting in three coordinates: AI imaginaries, AI deconstructions, and AI exposures. Instead of assuming a mere reproduction of aesthetics already inherent in the underlying training datasets, the framework investigates the question of how artistic practices may critically engage with GenAI.
The research seminar as well as the paper derived from its results – and on which this talk is based – was coordinated/co-written by Mick With Berland, Daniel Irrgang, and Tanya Ravn Ag.
