Artistic direction and algorithmic co-agency in post-media cinema

Authors

Keywords:

Artistic direction, Post-media cinema, Artificial intelligence

Abstract

The contribution analyzes the transformation of artistic direction in post-media cinema through interviews with directors, artists, and producers who integrate AI into creative processes. These testimonies become theoretical tools to examine the crisis of authorship and control. AI emerges as a cognitive co-agent, reconfiguring artistic practice in a curatorial sense and redefining languages and modes of spectatorship within the context of hybrid cinema.
