CSCE 445-500 Assignment 1

Section 1

Hello! I’m Julia and I’m a senior computer science major with an emphasis in art. This class interested me because I have a love for media, old and new, and art. I also love combining two things that seemingly don’t go together until you think about it: like technology and art.

Section 3

Challenge with My Content Production

One challenge in the art world currently is the stolen intellectual property of artists by artificial intelligence models that learn and copy their style and recreate it. This means that the artist will face a loss of revenue from potential customers who would’ve otherwise been forced to pay the artist for their work. I would hate for my personal painting style to be mimicked by a machine and receive no work for their code being trained off my data.

Challenge with My Content Consumption

Another challenge that I face when I am consuming TikTok videos is that I always snooze my 1 hour timer each day. I never snooze it for a quick 15 minutes either, I always turn it straight off for the day. It’s too easy to be addicted to quick, short form content. The rush of feeling all emotions on the spectrum rapidly is addictive. TikTok will show you a cute cat video, then right after, will display a heart wrenching video of a journalist documenting the Israel Palestine conflict in Gaza.
