Art.Machines.Intelligence

I will present some thoughts about the potentials that lie at the intersection of art, machines (including AI) and intelligence. I wish not simply to give an overview of today’s practice by artists using, or sometimes developing, some aspects of the use of machines in their practice, but rather discuss why there is great potential in the mixing of these disciplines.
To do so, I will characterize each of the three topics. My descriptions of these topics will be far from complete overviews, but sufficient I hope to make clear how I consider the potentials offered by considering the junction or fusion of the 3 topics of “art”, “machines” and “intelligence”. I will give also some recent and current examples practices and projects of artists I have engaged with, where the 3 disciplines are brought together, as a short overview.
Finally, I suggest that rather than fixate on General Artificial Intelligence, we ought to rather focus on more reasonable objectives such as Art.Machine.Intelligence.
