AI Art, Machine Learning and the Stakes for Art Criticism Hardback
by Nora N. Khan
Part of the New Directions in Contemporary Art series
Hardback
Description
The field of AI Art is a hotbed for strange, uneasy partnerships between big tech, big art and critical culture.
Not since Walter Benjamin's Age of Mechanical Reproduction has there been a similar challenge to humanist art criticism.
This book examines how a contemporary critic should best engage with, contextualise and effectively critique machine-learning-based art.
In considering this question, Nora Khan looks at the rush of institutions to place AI Art within an art-historical lineage while they simultaneously accept significant funding from technology companies.
She discusses the scale and speed at which technological production, machine learning, and AI have abraded the individual’s capacity for critical evaluation, moving us to consider what a shared, collective criticism of AI might sound like.
