The Limits of Computational Formalism in Art History
Art history faces ongoing challenges in interpreting art through various methodologies, including traditional and computational approaches. While computational formalism claims to enhance efficiency and objectivity by analyzing vast datasets, it also exposes significant limitations, such as data bias, neglect of context, and algorithmic opacity. These issues can echo problematic formalist doctrines, risking a superficial understanding…

Generative Art and the “Flux” of Identity
The digital era reshapes identity as a dynamic construct influenced by networked platforms and algorithms. Generative art serves as a metaphor for identity, showcasing continuous evolution and complexity rather than static existence. Just as generative processes yield unpredictable and changing outputs, digital identities are formed and reformed through ongoing interactions, cultural influences, and data-driven systems.…

Generative Art and the Question of Being. Process, Emergence, and Existence.
Generative art redefines creativity by shifting focus from traditional authorship to the processes and systems that yield art. Unlike traditional forms, generative art utilizes rules, algorithms, and randomness to produce outcomes with a degree of autonomy from human control. This challenges the notion of a solitary artist, positioning the creator as a meta-creator who sets…
