Session 2 · AI Art Crafting · Lesson 02
Outputs versus Behaviors
Outputs are artifacts. Systems are behaviors. Systems invite contingency, foreground process over result, and work in the liminal space between intention and interpretation.
Concept
- An output ends; a behavior continues and changes.
- Liminality as design space: between image and event, archive and emergence.
- Post-photographic practice locates the work in the behavior.
Are you making artifacts, or making behaviors?
