Algorithmic Imaginations: Critical Reflections on AI in Art and Design Practice

‘Algorithmic Imaginations’ sets out to investigate the reality of AI – how machine intelligence relates to the world, to our human capacities, to creativity and imagination, but also to social inequality, bodies, other beings, and the environment. The book operates under the assumption that designers and artists are not so much under threat from AI as they are in a unique position to critically engage with and shape our understanding of machine learning’s possibilities and limitations. It comprises written contributions, recorded conversations, and visual explorations, inviting students, practitioners, and researchers of art and design to explore the role of AI within their practice.
