From ‘On-life’ to ‘On-art’ and ‘Beyond-Life’

This concluding chapter envisions a future where ‘on-art’—a fusion of online and offline creativity—dissolves the digital-physical boundary. It examines how generative AI redefines authorship and presents a taxonomy of centauric art, from traditional collaborations to fully automated works. Showcasing artists who embody this spectrum, this chapter contemplates AI’s role in forging novel artistic paradigms. It reflects on the myriad of possibilities for art in a world where technology augments human creativity, heralding an era of unfettered co-creation between humans and machines.
