The AI Art Magazine – Number 02

The AI Art Magazine brings the vibrant world of AI art into print, showcasing the evolution of art in the digital age.

What happens when machines not only create images, but shape realities? When they generate in real time what we see, hear, and perhaps even feel? Under the title CRITICAL INTELLIGENCE—narratives under the machine, the magazine explores the invisible narratives behind AI-generated imagery.

This second edition does not seek smooth answers but looks for cracks and contradictions in the system, bringing together artists who use AI not only asa tool, but as a method of analysis and resistance to expose structures, shift perspectives, and renegotiate the visible. It is a space for friction, an archive of the collective moment, and an invitation to question the narratives “under the machine” before they shape us.

The cover is shaped by Irish conceptual artist Kevin Abosch with an image from his series Civics (2023), synthetic photographs of protests that never took place, suspended between document and fiction, authenticity and manipulation. His manifesto “Neue Realität” echoes through the issue, calling for a radical redefinition of authorship and creativity in the age of AI.

"The idea of critical intelligence is important to me. Not as a fixed skill set, but as a posture—a kind of inner friction. It’s not enough to know how things work; you have to remain alert to how they shape you in return.”—Kevin Abosch
