Artificial Intelligence and the Arts

Dear Colleagues,

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the creative landscape. This Special Issue aims to explore the use of AI in the arts with a focus on human and AI collaboration along the entire value chain, from the creation of art to its mediation, distribution, preservation, and perception (human response). We are seeking original research papers, reviews, theoretical papers, as well as a wide range of case studies and methodologies, to foster diverse discussion of this evolving field.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to)

• Creation and production process
  • Human and AI creative collaboration.
  • AI-generated art and its impact on aesthetics.
  • AI-driven narrative generation and storytelling.
  • The use of AI-powered tools in artistic practice and its implications.
  • The ethical and legal considerations of AI-generated art.
• Mediation, distribution, preservation
  • AI's influence on art curation and recommendation systems.
  • The use of AI in art exhibitions and installations.
  • The role of AI in preserving and restoring artworks.
• Perception and consumption
  • The psychology of human perception in evaluating AI-created art.
  • The influence of AI on taste, cultural consumption, and aesthetic diversity.
  • A theoretical frameworks for understanding the role of AI in the arts.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
