Das imagens-lixo às imagens-selvagens: instaurações em coautoria com inteligências artificiais e outras máquinas

Abstract

This work is the result of research into creation processes carried out in co-authorship with generative artificial intelligences. We assume this relationship as co-authorship because we seek, influenced by the thinking of Gilbert Simondon and Donna Haraway, to gather and invent stories about technical objects, which we build and surround ourselves with, not as things to be used by humans but as allies for the production of new stories about ourselves. We problematize a notion of the pilot's subjectivity, as found in Norbert Wiener's cybernetics, which traverses assemblages with objects from communication and information technologies in search of control and efficiency, finding in art ways to face chaos alongside them. Instead of seeking control, we try to produce a composition with chaos, as suggested by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. We find in the Symbiotic Art of the Portuguese artist Leonel Moura and Henrique Garcia Pereira, a contribution to think about the relationships between art and machines. Additionally, we invoke the concept of instauration, as presented by the reading of Vinciane Despret and Peter Pál Pelbart on Étienne Souriau's work, to think of this co-authorship relationship as a collective instauration, from which emerge not only the images but also the machine that produces them and the human artist subject. What we call trash-images, which emerge from this instauration relationship, are the images that are usually discarded in the creation processes with generative artificial intelligences because they are not considered good enough, as they are strange, with deformed, confusing elements, of low resolution, that is, they poorly represent reality and the technical capacity of calculation, but we then transform into wild-images when we take them as a war machine, as presented by Deleuze and Guattari, to confront the arrival of an aesthetic standard of images produced by artificial intelligences.
