In my dissertation I try to outline the gradual mutations of contemporary art in relation to its technological circumstances, with a special focus on the implications of algorithms and neural networks. Through examples of some recent art practices and related theorizations, I illustrate contemporary strategies of thinking and performing cultural production that adapt to the media landscape of the present and the future while changing attitudes towards authorship, innovation, representation, politics and the art market. After a brief explanation of neural network technology, I present my practice and a plan for a solo exhibition through which I illustrate some applications of the proposed strategies.
