Abstract
The project described in this document considers the creative possibilities enabled by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies. We consider how these technologies can be used in an artistic practice along several different lines. First, we examine AI/ML as a tool for art making. Second, we will describe how AI/ML technologies can serve as a subject of investigation through the process of making art. Finally, we consider the effects of AI/ML technologies upon the practice of the artist. To these ends, we submit three case studies, created by the author, that make use of AI/ML technology in different ways: 2521x079, a text-generating agent that writes about AI, art, media, and philosophy; Cibo, a live-coding agent that performs musically through the generation of code; and Prometheus, a multimedia dance performance with interactive, AI-generated video.
