AI and the Transformation of Visual Culture, Art, and Design

Artificial intelligence (AI) transforms visual culture, reshaping the ways art and design are created, distributed, and experienced. Through advanced technologies like machine learning, generative algorithms, and image synthesis tools, AI has become both a creative medium and a collaborative partner for artists and designers. Its influence affects aesthetic trends, cultural narratives, and audience engagement in the digital age. As AI-generated images become prevalent, they challenge traditional notions of creativity, authorship, and originality while opening new possibilities for innovation and expression. Understanding the impact of AI on visual culture, art, and design may reveal the evolving relationship between technology, creativity, and society. AI and the Transformation of Visual Culture, Art, and Design explores how AI changes the creation, interpretation, and consumption of visual art and design in contemporary society. It examines the opportunities and challenges AI presents, including its impact on creativity, artistic authorship, aesthetic values, and the future of visual culture. This book covers topics such as ecology, speculative design, and visual culture, and is a useful resource for engineers, sociologists, artists and designers, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
