Abstract
This thesis addressed my aims and objectives by interrogating the potential of AI and digital fabrication technology as a tool and conceptual device in contemporary art practice. It explored the gap in knowledge and the dynamics of human-computer interaction between artists and computational creative systems, as well as the need for techniques and models that can capture and interpret complex artistic contexts. Computational creativity faces challenges in capturing subjective and aesthetic aspects of art, these are deeply personal and influenced by emotions, experiences, and cultural backgrounds. Integrating these elements into computational systems poses a unique challenge, as it requires addressing ethical and cultural considerations such as respecting cultural sensitivities, avoiding biases, and promoting inclusive artistic expressions. Understanding and addressing these issues is crucial for the ethical and creative use of computational creativity, specifically AI, in artistic practice.
