Art-ificial Intelligence

ArtyParti

Today, three creatives who use artificial intelligence as part of their practice in different ways; Odette Johnson, Tyrone Santiago, and Phil Christopher. We discussed some of the challenges affecting artists as A.I. technologies improve - including copyright, ownership, and the potential loss of income that artists might face if numbers of commissions suffer.

As a Digital Marketing Specialist, Phil leads an A.I. art competition named 'A.I.A.V.A.' - he's forged a supportive online community around this initiative, inviting digital artists to respond to regular prompts. Click here to see more.

Odette Johnson, primarily a sound and music artist who utilises found sound and electronic music in her practice, has been experimenting recently with A.I. software as an iterative part of her process when it comes to visual art, including the Bird Jammin' piece as part of the current #VinylOutcry exhibition at Hills Arts Centre.

And Tyron Santiago, who is currently studying his final year of BA Animation and Games Art at the University of Sunderland, is working on a critical dissertation which investigates the negative impacts that A.I. might post to artists and to the arts world.
