This talk expands on my recent book Masked #Media: What It Means to be Human in the Age of Artificial Creative Intelligence. It argues for liquidating #aiart, not out of a dismissal of such computational #technology – however techno-fascist, nihilist or just parrot-like it may appear – but rather an insistence that art has always been created by hybrid assemblages of humans and nonhumans. There is no pure, authentic human #creativity to distinguish from works generated with technologies like Stable Diffusion

But ‘Liquidate AI Art’ also references the International Coalition for the Liquidation of #Art – whose members included Gustav Metzger, first editor of the Computer Art Society (CAS) bulletin PAGE – and especially Frieder Nake’s assertion in PAGE 18 that ‘there should be no computer art’....
