Artificial Intelligence – Intelligent Art? Human-Machine Interaction and Creative Practice

Transdisciplinary Conference | October 7th – 9th, 2022 | TU Braunschweig and online

As algorithmic data processing increasingly pervades everyday life, it is also making its way into the worlds of art, literature and music. In doing so, it shifts notions of creativity and evokes non-anthropocentric perspectives on artistic practice. Negotiating the aesthetic, cultural, and social implications of this development is an ongoing process to which this bilingual (German and English) and transdisciplinary final conference within the project From Avant-garde to Algorithm: Automated Creativity in Music and Literature aims to make its contribution.

Papers primarily from the fields of cultural studies, literary studies, musicology and sound studies as well as media studies, linguistics, philosophy of technology, sociology of technology, gender studies and beyond are welcome. The conference is also meant to be open to forms of aesthetic and performative knowledge production such as lecture performances, installations and artistic research projects. Contributions may consider, but are not limited to, the following topics and questions.

Dispositifs of creativity

  • The materiality of the digital

  • Technology between commodification, discrimination, and participation

  • AI as a cultural or creative paradigm

  • Metaphors of technology and the digital
    (‘cloud’; ‘deep learning’; ‘artificial intelligence’)

  • Algorithms, AI and digital media in public
    discourse on creativity and art

  • Reproduction of categories of difference in
    (the use of) technology

Authorship

  • ‘Creative’ machines and authorship

  • The ‘dissolution of the author’ in creative networks

  • Can algorithms be creative?

  • The programmer as author

  • The user as author

Aesthetics

  • Postdigital aesthetics of production

  • Towards an AI aesthetics?

  • Coding as art?

  • Code as artwork

  • AI in literature and music

  • Text-generators and ‘non-literature’

  • Poetic automatons and algorithms

  • Art as an embodied phenomenon

Creative processes and cultural production

  • Making art using ‘deep learning’ tools

  • Data, simulation and predictions - convergence
    of scientific and creative practice?

  • Creativity and in socio-technological networks

  • Creative human-machine interaction

Submissions will be accepted until May 31st 2022 via this form. Acceptance of papers is subject to the discretion of the organising committee, confirmations will be given in early July 2022. Individual papers and presentations should be about 20 minutes in length and can be held in either German or English.

Such proposals should not exceed 500 words and be accompanied by a short bio of no more than 100 words for the lead/corresponding author.
