Weekend Update – Proposal, Books, and A Survey of AI Art

It’s been a very productive week! Managed to:

  • Finish Thesis proposal (link)
  • Create concept map of AI, AI Art, Spirituality, and Consciousness (link)
  • Updated are.na channel for project: (link)
  • Books came in – Making my way through “The Age of Spiritual Machines” – Ray Kurzweil

 

I think my next step will be to sketch a quick zine to highlight the history of the field, and articulate the important questions I want to build on as part of my thesis. The questions on consciousness and intelligence still are still important parts of the project, but in my research there are a few more ideas popping up. Specifically, I’ve been sitting on:

  • Embodiment, and what this means for consciousness/intelligence, and the physical presence of ‘artificial’ systems.
  • Creating meaning from noise, and religion as a tool for meaning making
    • Parallels to current paradigms in Machine Learning – Diffusion Modeling
  • Who is in control in generative systems, the artist or the machine?
  • Identifying the contrast between Eastern and Western religions discussing the idea of God as an entity above vs an entity within us.

 

I also need to start making, so I’m going to brainstorm a quick Raspberry Pi project to get started with ML/AI and get a prototype up by the end of the week. Probably a simple camera image/video recognition project to get my development environment set up correctly.

 

Plan for this week

  • Complete a draft of the first zine – AI, AI Art, and
  • Get through the first section of The Age of Spiritual Machines
  • Use StableDiffusion to generate some imagery
  • Get Physical – Can you create a quick AI-powered sculpture? Can you get a recognition algorithm running on a Raspberry Pi?
  • and other things …
