AI after Algorithm after Artist after Artist and Again
"Nothing of him that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange"
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
The Tempest (1611–12)
Works 'Artist after Artists' is composed digitally using its drawings and low-resolution images of well-known classical paintings, acquired randomly via the Google search engine. Driven by her intuition, imagination, preloaded experiences, and present state of mind, the artist merged the selected parts into new narratives.
The following works 'Algorithm after Artist after Artists' are ( just some of) an infinite number of hypothetical versions of the first work algorithmically processed through the pre-trained AI model with built-in algorithms. This dreamlike psychedelic landscape trip, through the random, mysterious, and yet somehow familiar terrain is created by a convolutional neural network (ConvNet)
Artist Silvio Lorusso ( for the exhibition BiblioTech (2022) at NeMe Arts Centre, Limassol) concluded that the absurdism of AI, with the given access to the analogies of older forms of absurdity, hides in plain sight by perplexing us in its terminology and practices while affording us new parodies.
We are offered the possibility to explore the degree to which our present and future realities are being increasingly simulated. And to pose such questions as; at what point will we still be aware of the extent to which our perceptions, and our realities, are being shaped by the very machines we created?

Find The Artist
artist and GAN generative Ai
work continues by training AI models to find all artists' art references
which is used to create the images, as well as new
objects and answers to a question about who is an actual artist.

This bizarre landscape of thirty-three images was created in less than an hour using (one of some recently offered on the net) ‘GAN* Ai's ‘instant’ art creating generative programs, prompted by the user’s text and a choice of preprogrammed art styles.
So, who is the artist for such art: the user, the programmer, or the machine learning algorithm?
One could argue that GANs are an artistic tool, used in much the same way as a camera. However, as Artificial Intelligence progressively bridges the gap between the capabilities of humans and machines, several important questions must be raised. Can machine learning (ML) models truly emulate the creative process that occurs when making art? And what of the cognitive and emotional interaction that takes place between an artist and an observer during the consumption of art? How will we differentiate between random digital output and authentically produced art? Will we reach a stage where GANs will replace artists? What about the legal rights of art creation? Though some distance from that point, we are not so far as to avoid asking these questions now.
