The second issue of The AI Art Magazine is titled “Critical Intelligence – narratives under the machine” and publishes a series of articles that explore invisible narratives behind images generated by Artificial Intelligence (AI).
“What happens when machines not only create images, but also shape realities? When they generate in real time what we see, hear, and perhaps even feel?” These are the questions that drive the publication’s initiative.
The publication’s note explains that the edition does not seek fluid answers, but rather cracks and contradictions in the system, bringing together artists who use AI not only as a tool, but also as a method of analysis and resistance to expose structures, change perspectives, and renegotiate the visible. It is a space of friction, an archive of the collective moment, and an invitation to question the narratives “under the machine” before they shape us.
The cover is designed by Irish conceptual artist Kevin Abosch with an image from his series Civics (2023), synthetic photographs of protests that never happened, suspended between document and fiction, authenticity and manipulation. His manifesto “Neue Realität” echoes throughout the issue, calling for a radical redefinition of authorship and creativity in the age of AI.
AI Art Magazine, published biannually, is the creation of a creative studio in Hamburg, Germany, known as polardots.studio, and explores the fusion of human creativity and machines.
