Door County Talks: Kristopher Purzycki – For the Love of Blank Space: Creative Practice and the Impacts of Artificial Intelligence

In this talk, we’ll explore how these tools work in a simple way, look back at how artificial intelligence has been a fascinating subject for artists, and discuss what this means for the future of creativity.
