Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the worlds of contemporary art, design and culture, opening up new possibilities for creativity while raising questions about authorship, originality and the role of the artist. From generative images and machine-learning installations to AI-powered sculpture, film and interactive experiences, artists are exploring how intelligent systems can become collaborators, creative tools and subjects of artistic investigation. Working at the intersection of art and technology, these practices challenge traditional ideas about making, ownership and what it means to be creative.
As AI becomes increasingly embedded in everyday life, artists are also examining its wider cultural, social and political implications, from surveillance and data ownership to bias, labour and the relationship between humans and machines. Across museums, galleries, festivals and digital platforms, artificial intelligence is reshaping both how art is produced and how audiences experience it. FAD Magazine follows the artists, exhibitions, innovations and debates shaping this rapidly evolving field.

There are some tough yet critical themes running through the 58th la Biennale di Venezia. The 2019 edition is curated by Ralph Rugoff and inspired by an ancient Chinese proverb which turned out to be a fallacy. Very appropriate for the unsettled times we are living through, where global economic disparity, alternative facts, migration and accelerated global warming are some of the most urgent topics concerning humanity and its future.
