New technologies are becoming increasingly dominant in the creative industries, changing artistic professions and challenging conceptions of authorship. But can artificial intelligence and digital technologies be used creatively, collaboratively and imaginatively? Or should we resist them and seek to protect the creative sphere from the influence of the machines? Algorithms and Imagination, the twelfth issue in the series Die Nummern, explores the fields of illustration, animation and curating, asking fundamental questions about the role of artificial intelligence as enabler, co-author and potential threat to creative practice. Drawing on student projects and engaging in conversations with artists, animators, illustrators and curators, the publication looks at contemporary trends in the creative industry and takes a critical but optimistic view of the digital future in design, film and art.
