My favorite accidents with AI
Exchange of experiences in conversation
The progress of AI in recent years has been enormous: the programs are becoming faster, more accurate, and deliver better-quality results. But from an artistic point of view, it is often the imperfections of the programs that fascinate. New things often arise where things are not yet running optimally.
In August, an Berlin Initiative “Kulturbotschaft” was offering a #LunchLab on this topic: communication scientist and digital curator Maren Burghard and artist and publicist Vladimir Alexeev, aka Merzmensch, have shown how creative results can be achieved through AI ‘accidents’. Their explorations of new possibilities can also be understood as an appeal to the art world: to embrace experimentation again, to embrace the unseen, the unthought, the unrealised. Those who engage with the complex processes between humans and machines will be rewarded with amazement.
