Ep 9: Agent Lev Manovich - Machines are Already More Creative Than Us

Digital culture can be separate from tangible culture but the effects and integration of digital culture make it indistinguishable as we progress further into the 21st century. With constraints like video CODECs, or internet bandwidth, it is strange to think that we participate in cultures through digital means and that this represents our achievements and behaviours. We know there are AI digital influencers, and artists have incorporated AI in their art-making process, so AI is already implanted in cultural processes. But as we continue to develop and shift digital cultures, who do we recognise as the architects of aesthetics, software engineers designing tools for artists, or artists following patterns and making products? And where does Machine Learning or AI come into it? To discuss these ideas the Art Intelligence Agency is joined by Agent Lev Manovich, presidential professor at the City University of New York and leading theorist of digital culture.

You can find more of Lev's work and follow him on Twitter @manovich. You can also find more interesting research at the Cultural Analytics Lab, or read Lev's latest book Cultural Analytics.

This Podcast was Produced by Tim Whiffen of Whimsy Productions in Association with the Art Intelligence Agency, the Australian Institute for Machine Learning, and the Sia Furler Institute of the University of Adelaide.
