Contemporary generative artificial intelligence arouses astonishment, fear, enthusiasm or skepticism as the technology develops at an accelerated pace in all areas of culture and science. This title explores the ways in which contemporary artists have engaged with these AIs over the last decade, with both critical and experimental aims. With contributions from artists alongside essays by scientists and cultural theorists, this comprehensive guide looks at all aspects of this new frontier Networks of artificial neurons understand the world as a code: using the latent framework of mathematical matrices, they teach themselves to produce images, sounds and text in order to think, write and speak.
Artists include: Christian Marclay, Trevor Paglen, Hito Steyerl, Julian Charrière, Alexia Achilleos, Theopisti Stylianou-Lambert, Nora Al-Badri, Patsy Baudoin, Nick Montfort.
