Ivonne Thein

Ivonne Thein (Berlin) is a multidisciplinary artist who works with the media of video, sculpture, performance, photography and mixed-media installations. In her practice, she reflects on the current body images of a digital culture that is fundamentally changing through extensive technologization. Based on stock photography, she started a collaboration with AI systems to explore the transformation of the physical body and its virtual representations in the visual culture of our time. Her works have been shown in international exhibitions, including at the Center Pompidou Paris, Fotomuseum Winterthur, Lentos Linz and CO Berlin.

What ethical considerations arise from the ownership and creation of AI-assisted art?

What ethical considerations arise from the ownership and creation of AI-assisted art?

by Sophie Schmitz

What do you think about the ownership of art created with the assistance of AI? Is it primarily a human creation or an output of the AI itself? Whom does the artwork belong to since this topic is still not quite clear with the current regulations.

by Niklas Evmenenko

How have audiences reacted to your work in different exhibitions, and have you noticed any cultural differences?

by Eva Madl

How do you proceed with the AI to create sculptures? How does AI permit you to create 3D objects that have just been produced by the algorithm?

by Antonin Couton

Has your personal perception of the human body changed as a result of the collaboration with AI systems? If so, in what way?

by Melanie Bauer

How does the physical presence of these sculptures in the exhibition space influence the audience's perception and interaction compared to displays of purely digital content? The sculptures do not seem to be exact recreations of the AI generated content - do you create them with the intention of eliciting some specific reactions, like for example of being disturbed? Or are they the result of what the AI generated content makes you yourself feel?

by Anastasia Shulman

Could you explain if there is a connection between the AI-generated sounds (e.g., nature, human, etc.) in "META BODIES" and the placement of the patches on your body?
I like your ideas in TECHNO BODIES. A growing tendency towards objectification encodes the body as an arbitrarily manipulable mass. Although I felt uncomfortable after I saw the exhibition on the website. But, this is what you would like to present.

by Kathrin Liesens

Are there any technologies currently in development (e.g. Sora, which isn't yet publicly available) that you are planning to use in future works?

by Michael Buchholz

Given your collaboration with AI systems to explore the transformation of physical bodies and their virtual representations, how do you navigate the ethical implications of using AI in your art? Specifically, how do you address issues related to bias, representation, and the impact of technology on body image?

by Lea Zeilbeck

In your opinion, what direction do you see digital culture and body image representation taking in the next decade with the advancement of AI?
