The Idea Becomes a Machine That Makes the Art

Strange Loop Conference via YouTube

Overview

Explore the intersection of conceptual art, human interpretation, and artificial intelligence in this thought-provoking conference talk. Delve into Sol LeWitt's "Wall Drawings" series and examine how his instructions collaborate with human assistants to create large-scale installations. Investigate the philosophical questions surrounding art creation, including the role of ideas, execution, and the blurred lines between human and machine creativity. Learn about a human-machine collaboration project that uses AI assistants to interpret and generate virtual versions of Wall Drawings. Discover the machine learning techniques employed, such as RNN, LSTM, and GAN, and consider the implications of feeding AI-generated art back into a collaborative environment with human artists.
