The Authorship Identity Crisis and Changes in Aesthetic Judgment Standards in Algorithmic Generated Art

Abstract

 With the widespread application of artificial intelligence technology in artistic creation, algorithmic generated art has shifted towards issues of authorship and aesthetic standards, prompting in-depth discussions on these topics. This article systematically analyzes the challenges to traditional authorship concepts, the reconfiguration of creative subjectivity, and the changes in aesthetic judgment standards in algorithmic generated art from the perspectives of art philosophy, technical aesthetics, and art sociology. It is argued that algorithmic generated art, through features such as human-machine collaboration, random intervention, and algorithmic autonomy, resolves the authority of a single author, promoting the aesthetic standards to shift from being based on skills to being based on concepts and processes. Furthermore, a judgment framework centered on process-based aesthetics is proposed. This research provides strong support for understanding the technological ethical aesthetics transformation in contemporary artistic creation, and has significant theoretical value. Its practical significance cannot be ignored.
