- Aristotle’s Poetics and the development of modern aesthetics with Baumgarten’s Aesthetica
- Hegel’s concept of art as material thinking
- Heidegger’s thinking of poesis and language
- Deleuze and Guattari’s philosophy of the concept and the assemblage
- Eleanor Rosch’s theories of concept formation, fuzzy logic and family resemblances
- Hermeneutic slippage, defamiliarization and Derrida’s concept of archewriting
- A discussion of prompt writing and AI image generation as a new kind of conceptual art
Practicing AI artists and hobbyists or anyone who is just curious about these new platforms and technologies will find a wide-ranging discussion of AI art in connection to thousands of years of intellectual history and contemporary contexts.
