Reviews
“DeepAesthetics offers a fascinating movement across a triadic relation between critical engagements with artworks, close analyses of machine learning, and the interrogation of both via speculative pragmatism. It will doubtless be of interest to media artists and scholars working in science and technology studies, art practice, cultural and media theory, aesthetic theory, and the philosophy and ethics of artificial intelligence.”

“In this intriguing thought experiment, Anna Munster moves beyond the familiar approach of studying human experiences with computers to consider whether computation itself, especially in its machine learning guise, can undergo experiences that matter—and that mean something outside the human cognitive system. With this gesture, she puts forward a bold and innovative proposal for seeking radical novelty in a world stuck in familiar patterns, rhythms, and styles.”
