Explore new horizons of learning, generation, and creation. The October issue of “Bijutsu Techo” has a special feature on “AI and creativity.”
“Bijutsu Techo” October issue
Bijutsu Shuppansha Co., Ltd. (Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo) will release the October issue of Bijutsu Techo, a special feature titled “AI and Creativity,” on Friday, September 6th.
Special feature “AI and creativity”
Explore new horizons of learning, generating, and creating
Currently, various generation AI services have been released, making it easy to “generate” digital content such as illustrations, text, music, and video. Such generative AI uses a large amount of data to learn and pattern existing creations, as well as sentences and images that we post on social media on a daily basis, and then creates “similar expressions” with high quality. It is possible to output. For this reason, products created by AI are causing a lot of debate in terms of ethics and rights.
In this special feature, in order to consider what generative AI brings to artists’ productions and the “creativity” between AI and humans, we will discuss artists and researchers who use AI to create works, the history of creativity between machines and humans, and the history of creativity between machines and humans. Issues such as copyright of products will be discussed. What is learning?
What is generation? What is creation? I would like to look at new horizons of “creativity” through the present and history of AI technology and human production.
Featured content includes manga by Sekaiichi Asakura, a roundtable discussion with Akihiro Kubota, Tomoko Shimizu, and Nao Tokui, interviews with Tom White, Goro Murayama, and James Bridle, a timeline of AI and creativity, and a discussion of generative AI and copyright. Basic courses, etc.
The special article is about Keiichi Tanaami, whose major
retrospective exhibition is being held at the National Art Center, Tokyo (until November 11th). Tanaami has been active in creative activities across genres for more than 60 years, starting in the late 1950s when he was a university student. Where is the creativity and originality that was cultivated through immersion in postwar American culture? Kenji Kajiya, a researcher on representational culture and contemporary art history, provides an interpretation.
The artist interview is Thomas Hausego, who has been actively creating art since the 2000s, holding solo exhibitions at museums around the world. The new works, created in Malibu and Los Angeles, are inspired by the moon and eggs, as well as Japanese haiku. We spoke with artist/art critic Takuma Ishikawa on the occasion of his first solo exhibition in Japan.
