Abstract:
This paper explores innovative integration of generative AI with digital and traditional craft practice. It presents a theoretical analysis of the nature of these new tools and interactions with digital agents as well as a practical workflow utilizing image generators for artistic creation, emphasizing the transformation of digital images into tangible objects through digital and traditional craft techniques. The paper presents three projects in ceramic, woodcut prints, and relief – each illustrating an optional material interpretation of generated images. The paper shows how materialization re-asserts the human role in this new collaborative environment and how the tangible object changes the status of the generated image from a random sample into a critical part of a work of art.
