The “Handcrafted” AI artworks from Stuttgart delves deeply into the process of generating AI-created images. At its core lies the contradiction between the title “Handcrafted” and the reality of machine-generated art. This apparent contradiction aims to highlight the ongoing debate about the authorship of AI-generated art and reflect society’s criticism: Who is the true creator of a generated image? Does the creative authority belong to the human guiding the AI, or are these works merely soulless duplicates based on stolen or copied content from databases?
Without human hands
This question arises because critics often argue that AI systems merely reproduce existing material, lacking genuine creativity. At the same time, artists who use these technologies find their creative abilities being questioned. The “Handcrafted” series deliberately brings this discourse to the forefront, questioning whether artificially created artworks truly originate from human imagination or if they are merely a form of algorithmic craftsmanship—ironically, without human hands.
The essence of artistic creation, “Handcrafted”
The “Handcrafted” series is part of a larger project titled “Rust Orange and Dim Blue”. It explores the essence of artistic creation. In this context, the project not only analyzes the process of creating art but also focuses on the emotional and intellectual depth behind the making of art. Whether by humans or machines. The series challenges the viewer to ponder what art truly means in an increasingly technologized world.
