Technophany special issue:
Computational Creativity
Edited by Anna Longo
This special issue of Technophany explores the profound intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Creativity. The volume challenges traditional human-centric notions of creativity, examining the philosophical and ethical dimensions of AI-generated artistic output. It focuses on computational creativity, which is the study and development of algorithms capable of performing tasks considered creative if done by humans, and its role in augmenting and transforming human expression. Discover how AI compels us to reconsider the essence of creativity and the evolving relationship between humans and machines.
With texts by Anna Longo, AA Cavia, Betti Marenko, Roberto Bottazzi, Renzo Filinich and Christo Doherty, Sebastian Rozenberg, Keith Tilford, Ella Dawn McGeough and Brendan Flanagan, Ami Clarke
Technophany is founded in view of the need to create a singular and unconventional space for reflections on philosophy and technology, which is diminishing today due to dogmatic academic practices and their reluctance to confront challenges imposed by the industrial world. Technophany aims to facilitate original reflections and provocations on the philosophy and history of technology, and contribute to the reshaping of the contemporary landscape of thought.
