CONSCIOUSNESS IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEMS AND ARTISTIC RESEARCH STRATEGIES IN AI ART

The paper Consciousness in Artificial Intelligence Systems and Artistic Research Strategies in AI Art offers a reflection on the fact that the operability of consciousness poses a fundamental question for art-research strategies AIArt. This reflection is supported by both the possibility of realizing consciousness in artificial intelligence systems, as discussed in the paper Consciousness in Artificial Intelligence (2023), and by the proposal that interprets art-research strategies as transposition processes of scientific procedures into the sphere of art, i.e., as research operations with manifestations of computational consciousness. Explanatory examples are provided in the form of analyses of Lauren McCarthy’s projects, which significantly support the presented starting points.
