Abstract

The article analyzes artistic practices in the creation of generative video art, highlighting two models: the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to generate images through textual description and the creation of videos with vector-based systems like OpenGL. By differentiating these models, it defines the computer as a central tool capable of managing crucial stages of the creative process. Exploring concepts of generative art, creative processes, and computational art, the text reflects on the technical and ethical aspects of the relationship between artist and machine. It also considers the computer as an "oracle," offering practical and aesthetic solutions throughout the creative process. The article further proposes an analysis of the field of generative video art as a subjective aesthetic discourse, rooted in the sublime, that challenges traditional audiovisual grammar, establishing itself as a contemporary artistic practice.
