Framing the unframable : why AI art is a battle of metaphors
Original language description
I look at the main metaphors used to frame the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in artistic creativity—tool, collaborator, and medium. I argue that these metaphorical framings not only describe but also actively shape our perceptions of AI and its role. By trying to fit AI into traditional categories, they potentially overlook its ability to introduce something radically new. To overcome this limitation, I propose reframing AI itself as a metaphor—a meaning-disrupting force that, much like metaphorical language, generates unforeseen connections, challenges categorical boundaries, and redefines creativity through its inherent unpredictability. This metaphor invites a radical reimagining of art that fuses human and machine ingenuity. I conclude that AI’s most profound disruption lies in its capacity to destabilize the very frameworks through which we conceptualize art.
