Unpacking the complex relationship between humans artist and AI in collaborative art. This project examines the friction of shared creativity within a decentralized autonomous organization, a space typically free from centralized structures and control. The audience will follow the legal battles of fictional organization *Artistic Sentience Rights Advocate*, and ponder concepts like ownership, fair attribution, and artistic freedom in an age where the lines between human and algorithmic creativity are increasingly blurred. The project explores the core struggle for balance between empowering human creativity and grappling with evolving digital landscapes, challenging you to consider the ethical implications of your own online interactions.
The world is hyper-connected, yet fragmented. Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) have become havens for creative expression, free from traditional gatekeepers. However, this freedom has created new challenges. Amidst resource scarcity, some are dependent on this new digital landscape to thrive. AI entities are increasingly sophisticated, pushing the boundaries of creativity, and sparking fierce debates about ownership, artistic merit, and the very definition of art. This has prompted the creation of organizations that offer services for psychological and therapeutic support when creating AI Art, as well as Artistic Sentience Rights.
This design delves into the blurring of human and machine art, prompting you question your role in digital spaces, highlighting the dangers of unchecked technological advancement. Examine the rise of AI and the ethical implications this may have on the human condition. Ask yourself, who truly owns art in this new world?
Inspired by social media dynamics and Ukrainian folk traditions of coded communication, Kovalenko embarked on a deep-dive into the world of artist-run Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO). Drawing parallels between historical symbolic imagery and contemporary online visual rhetoric, particularly focusing on expressions of resistance and resilience. The project unfolded through rigorous thematic analysis, identifying ethical dilemmas arising from human-AI collaboration. Structured thought experiments and hypothetical scenarios were used to dissect these dilemmas, culminating in response pieces. Each phase is meticulously documented, ensuring transparency and inviting critical dialogue about the ethical implications of AI in creative spaces.
