This paper proposes dialogue as a method for evaluating generative AI tools for culturally-situated creative practice, that recognizes the socially situated nature of art. Drawing on sociologist Howard Becker's concept of Art Worlds, this method expands the scope of traditional AI and creativity evaluations beyond benchmarks, user studies with crowd-workers, or focus groups conducted with artists. Our method involves two mutually informed dialogues: 1) 'dialogues with art worlds' placing artists in conversation with experts such as art historians, curators, and archivists, and 2)'dialogues with the machine,' facilitated through structured artist- and critic-led experimentation with state-of-the-art generative AI tools. We demonstrate the value of this method through a case study with artists and experts steeped in non-western art worlds, specifically the Persian Gulf. We trace how these dialogues help create culturally rich and situated forms of evaluation for representational possibilities of generative AI that mimic the reception of generative artwork in the broader art ecosystem. Putting artists in conversation with commentators also allow artists to shift their use of the tools to respond to their cultural and creative context. Our study can provide generative AI researchers an understanding of the complex dynamics of technology, human creativity and the socio-politics of art worlds, to build more inclusive machines for diverse art worlds.


An old master? No, it's an image AI just knocked up … and it can't be copyrighted

The Guardian

Artist Jason Allen claimed his use of the online AI-platform Midjourney allowed him to claim authorship of the image because he "entered a series of prompts, adjusted the scene, selected portions to focus on, and dictated the tone of the image". But the board ruled that "if all of a work's'traditional elements of authorship' were produced by a machine, the work lacks human authorship, and the Office will not register it". Allen told the Pueblo Chieftain local newspaper that he "wanted to make a statement using artificial intelligence artwork. I feel like I accomplished that, and I'm not going to apologise for it." "Judges don't understand art, or have an old-fashioned idea of a very specific skill that is being able to re-produce a very specific vision of the world by hand," said New York artist-critic Walter Robinson, who has been using Midjourney, he said, "for fun".

AI art and its impact on the art world: is AI art stealing?

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a revolutionary technology with the potential to transform virtually every industry, and the art world is no exception. AI has opened up new possibilities for artists to create unique and innovative works of art that were previously impossible. With the help of AI algorithms, artists can generate music, images, and even entire pieces of art, opening the door to a new era of creativity. This has given rise to the field of AI art, where artists are using this technology to push the boundaries of traditional art forms and create new ones altogether. In this context, it is essential to analyze the impact that AI art is having on the art world, both in terms of how it is being created and how it is being consumed.


Cryptocurrencies and AI art: a revolution in the making

#artificialintelligence

Cryptocurrencies have been making waves in the financial industry for quite some time, but did you know they're also starting to make their way into the world of art? Specifically, the integration of cryptocurrencies and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is starting to transform the art industry in new and exciting ways. One of the main ways cryptocurrencies are impacting the art world is through the use of NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens), which are digital assets that can represent ownership of unique items, such as artwork. NFTs are based on blockchain technology, which provides a secure and decentralized way to verify ownership and authenticity of digital assets. NFTs are being used to sell and trade digital art pieces, allowing artists to receive payment for their work and for collectors to own a unique and valuable piece of digital art.


Melanated AI: A New Marketplace Celebrating AI Artists and Creators of Color

#artificialintelligence

A new online marketplace, Melanated AI (www.melanated.ai), is dedicated to celebrating and supporting the work of AI artists and creators of color. This unique platform allows these artists to sell their art as digital downloads, prints, canvas, or non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are a digital asset that represents ownership of a unique item, such as digital artwork. They have become an increasingly popular medium for artists and collectors in the digital art world, allowing for the creation and trade of unique, verifiable digital items. NFTs offer a new avenue for artists to monetize their work and reach new audiences.


AI Art Generators: A New Frontier in Digital Art and Design

#artificialintelligence

The field of artificial intelligence (AI) has made remarkable progress in recent years, with applications ranging from language translation to self-driving cars. But AI's use in the art world may be less known. Artificial intelligence art generators generate original artwork by using techniques such as neural networks and generative adversarial networks (GANs). Computer-generated imagery has been used in art since the 1960s, when early experiments were conducted. Artificial intelligence (AI) technology, however, has enabled AI art generators to create highly sophisticated and complex artworks.


Is AI Image Generation Art?. If you're debating whether AI image…

#artificialintelligence

If you're debating whether AI image generation is art or not, this blog post is for you. Learn about the different ways you can generate your own AI art. For centuries, art has been seen as a product of the human imagination, a way for us to express our creativity and view of the world around us. But what happens when artificial intelligence (AI) is used to generate images? Some argue that generated images cannot be classified as art because they lack the creativity and human emotion that traditional artwork has.


Exhibition made up entirely of AI-generated artwork launches in San Francisco

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Artificial intelligence is feared to one day take over humanity, but as for now people are using it to create stunning pieces of artwork that are now hanging in the first gallery inspired by Dalle-E - an AI-powered system that generates digital images through text inputs. The artwork, which is physically on display in San Francisco, was created by the'artist' inputting specific terms or selecting recommendations from the AI - all the pieces are for sale, with one for $5,000. However, one of the sculptures was created by reading the creators brainwaves and body signals to choose an initial AI-generated image that led to the finish piece. The gallery has been met with controversy as traditional artists do not accept the digital images as true art, noting it does not have the same hallmark of human creativity. Human engineers, however, note that there is more that goes into creating the AI-generated pieces, such as tweaking and refining specific options and features to create a perfect picture.
