AI and the Evolution of Art: From Individualism to Collective Creation

Explore with us how generative AI can reconnect us with our collective artistic heritage. For over 70,000 years, art has served ritualistic, communal, and spiritual purposes. This keynote invites you to rethink the role of AI in artistic creation. Instead of focusing on individual expressions, the emphasis is on shared experiences. We highlight significant turning points in Western art history, from the introduction of artist signatures in ancient Greece to the present day, and discuss how the commercialization of art since the Renaissance has shaped the myth of individual genius. Finally, we draw parallels to other revolutionary technologies like the printing press, which radically changed access to and dissemination of media. Together, we explore how collaboration with AI can reclaim the communal essence of art. An exciting dialogue awaits you, one that will broaden your perspective on art and creativity. Ideal for anyone interested in the transformative power of technology.
