AI & Arts: Searching for New Horizons of Co-Existence
A workshop through the Global Humanities Alliance
Speaker: Wolfgang Bongers, Associate Professor, Faculty of Linguistics and Literature, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile
GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks), along with LLMs (Large Language Models), are among the most powerful engines of deep machine learning. They are employed in many scientific and cultural fields, as well as in the arts. What is their potential and what kind of artworks are produced with GANs and LLMs? This workshop offers some critical perspectives found in selected artworks which envision futures for humans and other-than-humans from a Latin American perspective. These artists introduce new dimensions of artistic production, co-creation, and machinic poiesis while maintaining a critical stance on the implications of these technologies. By doing so, they pave the way for reimagined horizons of co-existence, positioning the arts as a space for reflection, experimentation, and the negotiation of shared futures.
