This discussion brings together curator Melanie Wilmink and artists Younghui Kim (김영희), Sookyun Yang (양숙현), and Joel Ong to explore the creative potential of generative AI and its associated datasets. The conversation builds on the collaborative project Artifacts of the Invisible City: Open Datasets as Creative Material (2023-24), supported by a partnership grant from the Canada Council for the Arts and Arts Council of Korea, fostering connections between Canadian and Korean artists.
Key themes explored in the discussion include:
- How AI can help artists grasp something new about the natural world
- How we might subvert control over privately owned digital infrastructure
- The value of outlier or useless data in representing the world
