Assistant Professor of Digital Arts Anna Huff recently presented “Channelers: AI, authorship, mysticism and meaning making in creative practice and pedagogy” at the 113th annual conference of the College Art Association (CAA).
Huff’s talk focused on her own use of AI as a collaborator in interdisciplinary technological art making and highlighted pedagogical applications of AI in a liberal arts intermedia program.
Through the lens of shared authorship, collaboration, and slow time translation, Huff presented AI work that ranged from early BETA mode Open AI fine tuning as a way to generate characters in performance work, to uses of AI as a tool to access previously cost prohibitive applications in 3D modeling.
Using classwork and assignment examples, Huff explored “collaboration with AI as another form of translation, and a way to complicate ideas of authorship through critical exchange.”
