How creative can a machine really be?

Where does human agency begin and end?

What is creativity?

What is art?

Refik Anadol - “What would a machine mind dream of after “seeing” the vast collection of The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)? In other words, if the corpus of images of the MoMA collection had been accomplished by a single artist, what would their dreams look like?”

Refik Anadol - “I’ve found that human and environments and machines; that triangle is our future. There is no more future without machines, unless we unplug ourselves… when people think about AI and art, they imagine a button that the artist clicks and then an art pops up or something like that. It is absolutely the opposite.”

Mario Klingemann - “my works are more than just visual pieces, they're thought experiment….Everything, from a simple mechanical device to the grand tapestry of human civilisation, is a system. And systems, as you may well know, have this alluring quality of being both fascinating and infuriatingly complex……As I ventured into the world of art, I realised that it too, is a system. It has its own structures, its own rules, and its own complexities. And like any good system, it's ripe for a bit of hacking.”

Mario Klingemann -”when you're working with artificial neural networks, code, and algorithms, you're not just creating art, you're creating entire systems that can generate art. And not just any art, but art that can surprise, confound, and even challenge our preconceptions….These tools also help me move beyond the well-trodden paths of human thinking….breaking free from the constraints of traditional art forms. In essence, they're my ticket to uncharted territories in the realm of art….if we approach it with caution, curiosity, and a healthy dose of scepticism….it might even make us better artists, better thinkers, better humans. After all, the future is a work in progress, just like a good piece of art…..Art is not a hard science with fixed laws and rules….It's a playground of ideas where the only constraints are those we impose on ourselves. And being the system hacker that I am, my first move is always to question these constraints.
This line of questioning often leads me down paths less travelled, where I push the boundaries of what is considered art.”
