What is AI? A dominant view describes it as the quest "to solve intelligence" - a solution supposedly to be found in the secret logic of the mind or in the deep physiology of the brain, such as in its complex neural networks. The Eye of the Master argues, to the contrary, that the inner code of AI is shaped not by the

Creative Pattern Recognition is a hybrid publication that explores the intersection of artificial intelligence and creative practice. It covers a wide range of topics such as the role of AI in art and design, addressing the impact and potential of AI on creative practice. It also highlights the opportunities and challenges presented by AI tools, the evolution of the field, and the potential for AI to enhance human creativity and explore uncharted artistic territories. Furthermore, it explores the ethical considerations surrounding AI, including the impact on creative jobs and the importance of demystifying AI to address societal concerns. Through interviews, reflections and analytical pieces, Creative Pattern Recognition provides a comprehensive, situated overview of the current landscape of AI in creative practice and formulates an answer to the question of why creatives should engage with AI and how to approach it.

Situating Imaginaries of Ethics in / of / through Design
Within the last decade a large corpus of work in HCI as well as the commercial design practice has focused on systematically addressing questions of ethics, values and moral considerations embedded in the design of digital technology. Recent critiques have highlighted that these efforts fall short of actual transformative impact. We use the sociological concept of imaginaries to argue that value and ethics work needs to be considered within the larger context of socially shared visions of a desirable future and outline how existing sociotechnical imaginaries pre-frame contexts in which value work is deployed. We demonstrate that imaginaries provide the language and conceptual framework necessary to address underlying ethical worldviews before ethics driven design methods and toolkits can be successfully employed. Finally we suggest how to engage imaginaries to facilitate a broader shift towards a more politically sensitive approach to designerly value work.
