A groundbreaking exploration of the evolving relationship between the fields of artificial intelligence and creativity studies, Artificial Media charts the course of a transformative path toward hybrid methodologies involving computing and human-centric approaches.

Scholars and practitioners from leading research centers in South America, Asia and Europe delve into theoretical and philosophical frameworks, practical deployments and data-based critical analyses of artificial-media initiatives that reconfigure authorship and collaboration. Co-creation, collective memory, and situated-knowledge practices are featured in multiple hands-on examples of technological design, music, visual-arts, journalistic and educational projects that address the ethical and social implications of generative techniques.

Through an interdisciplinary lens, this collection, projects a nuanced panorama of both the remarkable results and the complex challenges of emerging artificial-media methods, offering practical insights for anyone seeking to engage with the future of creativity in the age of autonomous machines.
