- Summary
"Is it possible that creative artists have more in common with machines than we might think? Employing an improvisational call-and-response writing performance co-authored with an AI text generator, remix artist and scholar Mark Amerika, interrogates how his own "psychic automatism" is itself a nonhuman function strategically designed to reveal the poetic attributes of programmable worlds still unimagined. Through a series of intellectual provocations that investigate the creative process across the human-nonhuman spectrum, Amerika critically reflects on whether creativity itself is, at root, a nonhuman information behavior that emerges from an onto-operational presence experiencing an otherworldly aesthetic sensibility. Amerika engages with his cyberpunk imagination to simultaneously embrace and problematize human-machine collaborations. He draws from jazz performance, Beatnik poetry, Buddhist thought, and Surrealism to suggest that his own artificial creative intelligence operates as a finely-tuned remix engine continuously training itself to build on the history of avant-garde art and writing. Playful and provocative, "My Life as an Artificial Creative Intelligence" flips the script on contemporary AI research which attempts to build systems that perform more like humans, instead self-reflexively making a very non-traditional argument about AI's impact on society and its relationship to the cosmos"-- Provided by publisher.
