While data is technically valuable to industry and science, it also makes an amazing subject for artistic exploration and expression. Data is a fantastic way of knowing about something but it is a limited experience of the world. That limitation is a great constraint for the creation of art but is also a fantastic motivation to point out through art. Equally, AI is a great tool to collaborate with for art creation, but using machine learning for commercial benefit requires reflection and critique available in fine art. The expansion of AI in the last couple of decades is something that Tega Brain, Industry Assistant Professor at NYU, has noticed and is exploring in her research and her artistic expression. To discuss the limitations and patterns of AI within our cultural and natural settings, Tega draws from examples of her work and her insights from her recent book.

You can find more of Tega's work and discover her insights into the convergence of engineering and fine art from her book Code as Creative Medium.
