Digital Alchemy will explore the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and its
integration within art and particularly photography. The course aims to illuminate the historical trajectory of AI and art
from its inception to the complex algorithms that today enable the creation of intricate, synthetic images. Through critical
examination, students will become familiar with significant developments in the application of AI in digital and synthetic
art, and its profound implications on artistic expression and societal perceptions of authenticity.
