At the same time as AI is reshaping the landscape of creative practice, it is raising complex questions about the future of creativity and the livelihoods of artists. AI tools can assist with creative processes, automate routine tasks, and open visual art creation to a wider audience, but they also necessitate a shift in skills for human professionals. As artists and designers engage with machine learning, automation, and data aesthetics, new questions emerge about authorship, ethics, aesthetics, and the future of creativity itself.
This Collection invites scholarship that explores the intersections of art, design, and artificial intelligence from across the humanities and social sciences. We welcome contributions from fields including media studies, cultural studies, art history, design theory, sociology, education, and critical technology studies. Submissions should reflect critically on the cultural, social, and conceptual implications of AI in creative domains.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Generative art and algorithmic aesthetics
- AI as co-creator: authorship, agency, and collaboration
- Design ethics in the age of automation
- Machine vision and the politics of seeing
- AI and the future of craft, materiality, and embodiment
- Curating with algorithms: museums, archives, and digital collections
- Bias, representation, and exclusion in AI-generated imagery
- Posthuman creativity and speculative design futures
- Pedagogies of art and design in AI-integrated classrooms
- The role of AI in fashion, architecture, and product design
- Historical precedents: automation and creativity before AI
- Critical responses to AI art: reception, resistance, and remix
- Intellectual property and the legal frameworks of machine-made art
