Thinking of KEKE
I found these ideas below in Artificial Aesthetics; A critical guide to AI, media and design. A book by @manovich & Emanuele Arielli from 2021. I like the idea of AI agents as "augmentations." A system capable of getting us to a new art production level in art. There are still many human parts involved in these systems, but I do see value in the experiment. What if this machine that doesn't stop and doesn't get tired and has some kind of reasoning and memory capabilities might make visible some sort of loophole in the creative process we haven't seen until now? Iteration is one of the things that helps us human artists arrive in new places. The native iterative capacity of AI might make visible something new. It s like if the AI agent is trying to crack a code. True that it would be a "human visual code" more than anything. Can we really see machine gestures with our propensity to anthropomorphize everything? We might have already hit machine to machine language gestures...but we are so basic in our capacity as humans to think outside the box, that we can't shake our human biases...
"Technology is the development of tools extending our reach and power. We have biologically limited physical strength: thanks to levers, gears, and eventually engines, we managed to overcome these limits. We have biologically limited visual acuity, but microscopes and telescopes allowed us to amplify the realm of the visible. Similarly, our cognitive skills such as calculation and memory have upper limits, but calculators and computers augmented those skills. Following this line of argumentation, one could suggest that aesthetic capacity has human limits as well, that there could be a point at which peak creativity, or peak aesthetic sensibility, is reached. Limits would be determined by both the individual, who has their own supply of sensitivity, creativity, and skills, and by the culture as a whole, which delimits what is possible within a specific artistic medium. Artificial aesthetics can be described as an augmentation of our aesthetic skills, deepening both our creative processes and our understanding and sensibility of cultural artifacts. Advanced systems would then be a further evolution of devices that are already used in creative disciplines, such as graphic programs, computer-aided design technology, music software, and so on. If in a traditional sense media are extensions of human senses, then AI is a further extension of human capabilities in mediating between us and the world.
Our engagement with technology expands and modifies how we create and ultimately shapes our cultural evolution. The question arises as to whether all this has the potential to push the boundaries of our knowledge about human cultural and artistic heritage. In a futuristic scenario, machines could acquire a precise understanding of human aesthetic preferences, eventually registering how we perceive and react in front of an aesthetic object with greater accuracy than is available to humans. Machines could learn to pro- duce aesthetic artifacts and generate new creative styles and genres. By ana- lyzing human aesthetics and the diversity of aesthetics in human culture, they may even be able to create new “cultures” - that is, to create genuinely new types of art and aesthetics."
