Workshop

Neural networks in art are no longer science fiction — they are our reality. Algorithms now “complete” masterpieces of the past, generate virtual worlds, and rewrite the rules of creativity.
Some view AI as a threat to authenticity, while others see it as a breakthrough. There are those who marvel at neural network-generated paintings, purchasing them at auctions for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and those who demand algorithmic art be banned. Meanwhile, museums find themselves torn between experimentation and the preservation of tradition. Perhaps this very debate is giving birth to a new artistic landscape — intertwining, controversial, and profoundly inspiring.

  • Where lies the boundary between inspiration and intellectual property theft?
  • Can an algorithm become a legitimate author — or is it merely a brush in the artist’s hand?
  • What does art lose and gain when neural networks learn to create?
