RECALIBRATION
‘Recalibration’ gamifies the debate around AI-assisted creativity and intellectual property, inviting us to rethink our traditional definitions of originality and creation in the digital age.
Players are dared to guess the prompts behind target-generated images, illustrating the impossibility of exactly reproducing AI-assisted creation. Their performance is captured by scores combining semantic and visual distances to the target image, revealing how AI-assisted creation involves a sophisticated orchestration of parameters, artistic intentions, and creative choices that make each work inherently unique.
This installation is a collaboration between artist Dimitri Daniloff and philosopher Hubert Etienne. It challenges participants through three levels of increasing complexity, from common representations to more atypical productions. Players are thus encouraged to explore increasingly more original and unexpected creative territories, expanding their understanding of AI-assisted art.
HUBERT ETIENNE & DIMITRI DANILOFF
This work, born from the collaboration between philosopher Hubert Etienne and artist Dimitri Daniloff, delves into the biases inherent in AI-generated images.
Hubert Etienne is a philosopher and AI ethics researcher, previously serving as Meta’s Global Generative AI Ethics Lead and now as the President of Quintessence AI. He is the founder of Computational philosophy and the founding chair of the Paris Conference on AI & Digital Ethics.
A visionary bridging art and technology, Dimitri Daniloff has spent two decades transforming digital imagery through collaborations with PlayStation, Daft Punk, and global luxury brands. His innovative work, honored with the Cannes Grand Prix, continues to evolve as founder of KKLONE and co-founder of HORS PISTE, where he explores the creative possibilities of AI while championing ethical artistic practices.
