The infinite as paradigm: Reframing the limits of AI art

Abstract

This article explores the recent proliferation of GenAI models capa-ble of generating ‘infinite’ sophisticated visual and audio outputs, and it discusses the challenges that these models pose to an AI art discourse oriented around concepts such as creativity or agency. We propose ‘the infinite’ as a new paradigm that shifts the focus away from individual artists and artworks, offering a more scaled-up per-spective on cultural practices in the age of AI. We argue that rather than making the previous paradigm obsolete, the infinite acts as a vector of expansion of the discursive limits of AI art.
