Contemporary classical music composer Jennifer Walshe recently published an essay on “13 Ways of Looking at Ai, Art & Music” for the music festival Unsound. Her question is not so much what AI can technically do, but what its aesthetic implications are:

“AI is Fan Fiction”

“AI is an Energy Drink”

“AI is ‘A.I.’“

“AI is Conceptual Art”

“AI is Gunk”

“AI is the Ineffable”

“AI is Boobs”

“AI is Relational Aesthetics”

“AI is Electronic Voice Phenomena”

“AI is Nature”

“AI is the Grain of the Voice”

“AI is Invisible Literature”

“AI as Companion Species”

At Research Center WdKA, we have mixed feelings about this text, but invite you to form your own opinion. It is certainly interesting as an artist’s perspective on AI. Read the full essay here.
