Artist Talk: Is AI Really Taking over Art? by Akane Hiraoka, a Media Artist

Generative AI has rapidly been implemented across many fields, including the art sector. It has become much easier for people without any artistic or technical background to create their own ‘art’. From image generation to interactive installations, AI is transforming how art is created, experienced and perceived.

In this seminar, new media artist Akane Hiraoka will explore how artists use AI in contemporary art practice. She will share insights into her multi-layered workflow – incorporating generative visual engines, large language models and real-time tracking technologies. Akane will present selected artworks to discuss how these tools influence her creative process, while reflecting on the current possibilities and limitations of AI, and how these may evolve in the near future.
