“…Following this media hype, we could initiate to understand how individuals judged this AI-generated art that was sold at a specific price. In this way, discussions and researches are still ongoing (Coeckelbergh, 2016;Steinert, 2016;Fossa, 2017;Israfilzade & Pilelienė, 2018;Hertzmann, 2018;Nunez 2019) and related to the main question "Can machine create art? ".…”

We conducted an experiment to explore the effect on aesthetic judgments influenced by the presence and awareness of the title of the abstract paintings produced by Artificial Intelligence. Fiftytwo participants (52 students from the Faculty of Fine Arts) were randomly signed into control and experimental groups. Participants of the control group were asked to rate five abstract paintings created by various artists, while the experimental group also rated the same paintings only differing in the names of the author that they were made by Artificial Intelligence. Consequently, in our research, we adopted Berlyne's psychobiological theory, which focuses on the role of arousal as one of the primary determinants of aesthetic preference. The results suggest that the name of AI on title can function as a novelty and surprising reference to denote performance for our visual arts perception despite the fact that it is not created by AI. However, "complexity," "interestingness," and "ambiguity" variables didn't show any statistic significant. These findings extend past research by demonstrating that title presentation affects the perception of abstract art by the participants.

“…Boden (1990) in his seminal work 'The Creative Mind: Myths and Mechanisms' anticipated this scenario by claiming that creative thought can be better understood with the help of ideas from artificial intelligence. Nowadays, many people question if computers can generate art (Hertzmann 2018). The debate is open and there are interesting studies on the relationship between artists and machines in the realization of the creative process that refer to the so-called 'algorithmic art'.…”

The article aims to explore the dialectic relationship between digital transformation and societal changes through a cultural and creative approach. The debate between an algorithmic society representation (as a narrative of the past) and a new strategic role of culture (as a narrative of the future) is still largely unexplored. In order to achieve the purpose of the research, the article wants to respond to the following research questions: what is the role of culture facing in the digital revolution? What opportunities and threats are created for the enhancement and preservation of culture and creativity? An open conversation in formal and informal environments has been mobilized from September 2018 until February 2020 with scientists and humanists following a narrative approach. The reflections derived and a comprehensive analysis of the literature on AI and data science have led to a review of models of culture-driven economic development. We propose a new research agenda for the preservation and enhancement of culture able to frame the opportunities and face the threats of the digital revolution.

“…Históricamente, el desarrollo tecnológico ha hecho patente a este problema. Se puede mencionar, por ejemplo, el caso de la fotografía, que en sus inicios fue ampliamente rechazada como manifestación artística (Hertzmann, 2018). En el ámbito musical, las primeras inclusiones de aparatos electrónicos provocaron debates similares en los que se discutió si la música electrónica era algo más que ruido .…”

El estatus de arte del CG-art desde un modo de existencia de tipo-natural

La introducción de las redes generativas antagónicas en el mundo del arte ha revitalizado la clásica pregunta: ¿puede una máquina crear arte? Estos algoritmos requieren una mínima intervención humana para funcionar, por lo que sus creaciones se consideran CG-art. En esta clase particular de arte los computadores no son una herramienta al servicio humano, sino un agente creativo autónomo. Por otro lado, estudios cognitivos recientes han demostrado que las personas son escépticas ante la idea de que una máquina pueda crear arte. Este artículo tiene como objetivo mostrar que el CG-art no puede excluirse arbitrariamente del dominio artístico. Para ello se utiliza la distinción hecha por Dickie entre teorías del arte de tipo natural y cultural. Luego, utilizando el concepto función de estatus de Searle, se propone considerar al arte como un fenómeno independiente del lenguaje. Complementando ambos enfoques sostengo que, la teoría idónea para explicar el fenómeno del CG-art es del tipo natural. Esto implica que la sociedad no puede negar el carácter de arte a estas creaciones algorítmicas. Así, la idea de que las máquinas pueden crear arte es fortalecida. Palabras clave: CG-art, teoría de arte, filosofía social, Searle, función de estatus
