Abstract
The recent development in the field of machine learning is filled with encounters of interesting robots’ creative responses and is becoming a challenging creative medium for artists. There are two possible directions in the future development of robots’ creativity, replicating the human mental processes or liberating machine creativity itself. In this paper, we are presenting artworks created within project Syntropic Counterpoints. In our aesthetical approach, we incline to the 21st-century avant-garde conceptual tradition. We intend to draw parallels between Dadaism and machine-made content and encompass Singularity and Dadaism into one, as a human less paradigm of uncontrollable creative practice closely related to AI aesthetic and machine abstraction phenomena. Key novelty in applied creative practice is use of artificial intelligence clones as creative medium for machine supervised content creation.
