Post-Creative Practices in Computational Art and Culture

The proliferation of (new) digital media fundamentally transforms the ways in which we have traditionally produced and consumed stuff, from cultural artefacts in the narrow sense of the word (literature, visual art, music, cinema, etc.) to the broad variety of mundane products and commodities. This course will explore theoretical and practical approaches to those practices that we label as ‘creative’; and how these are enmeshed with specific digital phenomena like machine learning, artificial creativity, and algorithmic software within the context of computational art and culture in general.
