The Language of Creative AI: Practices, Aesthetics and Structures

Fabrizio Augusto Poltronieri is a computer artist, researcher, and curator interested in the relationships between Art, Digital Media, Design, and Technology. His expertise is in developing creative coding and its exchanges with philosophical questions. He is an Associate Professor in Creative Technologies at IOCT (Institute of Creative Technologies), De Montfort University. He holds a PhD in Semiotics from the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo (PUC/SP), Brazil. In 2011-2012, he was awarded a fellowship to develop a Postdoctoral research project on the early days of computer art at the Royal College of Art in London. One of the outcomes of this research was a major exhibition with four pioneer computer artists. This exhibition, entitled ‘Primary Codes’, took place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2015. His second Postdoctoral research, at Leuphana Universität’s Gamification Lab, in Lüneburg, Germany, was on how the universe of video games, the notions of gamification, and post-history affect the production of language mediated by digital apparatuses. He has been exhibiting his artworks around the globe. His work is part of important collections, such as the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. In 2021, Fabrizio was one of the artists representing the UK in the World Expo Dubai with an AI artwork.
