Is AI Art Net Art?

Public Discussion with Vladan Joler, Valentina Tanni and Eryk Salvaggio.

Gen AI’s images are a distillation of the internet, inheriting the text categories assigned to images alongside the images themselves. How do artists work with, or resist, these competing systems of powers, logics, and communication?

In this exploratory discussion, we examine how we imagine and frame these systems today. We also look to Internet Art, a movement anchored in critique and resistance, to find paths relevant to critical artistic engagement with AI.
