ABSTRACT
Smalltalk is an interactive multimedia installation addressing Artificial Intelligence. The central motif of the work is the question of the Turing test: Can machines think? Certainly, equally important is the question of whether a conversation between two robots can be considered a work of art.The field of chatterbots simulating human intelligence is perhaps the best-known, and certainly the most popular subject within the discourse on artificial intelligence. During recent years, the research of the border zones of science and art have once again become the central theme of theoretical literature. Smalltalk is also interpretable within this relational system, as it consciously, and in an ironic format, employs a scientific approach.

- The Smalltalk installation is not the first occasion in which two chatbots have had a "frontal encounter": documentation has been widely cited regarding the conversations between Weizenbaum's Eliza and the robot named Parry, prepared by Kenneth Colby in 1968, in which the former simulated psychiatric "non-directed" therapy, while the latter simulated the delusional system of a paranoid patienGoogle Scholar

Artificial Intelligence, Artists, and Art: Attitudes Toward Artwork Produced by Humans vs. Artificial Intelligence
Special Section on Cross-Media Analysis for Visual Question Answering, Special Section on Big Data, Machine Learning and AI Technologies for Art and Design and Special Section on MMSys/NOSSDAV 2018This study examines how people perceive artwork created by artificial intelligence (AI) and how presumed knowledge of an artist's identity (Human vs. AI) affects individuals’ evaluation of art. Drawing on Schema theory and theory of Computers Are Social ...
