"What is intelligence? What is expression? And what happens when we stop deciding who these concepts belong to?" Grit Wolany asks these questions in her writing on Quantum Global Organoid Orchestra by transLAB and nD::StudioLab, in which electrical activity from living neural cell cultures is translated into sound and moving images. Another of her Golden Ticket selections, Sarah Kastrau's Cybook v03, brings analogue photographs into an interactive book built around a Raspberry Pi. AI helped Sarah develop the code. For Latent Xylella, Michele Rinaldi trained a model on more than 10,000 photographs he took of olive trees infected by Xylella in his native Salento. The resulting triptych forms an imagined archive of a disappearing landscape. ‍ Grit Wolany is a freelance art director and AI scout at Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK). Her artistic focus lies on explorative work with generative algorithms. Grit teaches GenAI at various universities and regularly holds workshops and lectures. Thank you, Grit, for the works you've brought into the magazine and for taking us further into them through your writing. The Open Call for Number 4 runs until 1 November. Artists engaging with AI are warmly invited to submit one work. There is no set theme and no submission fee. Details through the link in comments. #TheAIArtMagazine #No4 #MeetTheJury #GritWolany

Each Golden Ticket in the magazine is accompanied by an essay from the jury member who chose the work. These texts offer another invitation: to follow someone else’s encounter with an artwork. Writing may help an impression become clearer. Reading may bring another connection into view. Perhaps resonance continues through these exchanges. “This artwork didn’t just tell a story; it connected me to my own, echoing an unspoken resilience I wish for.” Liri Argov wrote these words in The Wish, her essay about Julien Bonet’s Kintsugi. We’re very happy to continue with Liri on the jury for Number 4. As a creative entrepreneur, Liri loves to envision, execute, and push new ideas and bring them to life. Liri is Co-Founder of OFFF TLV, the global festival of design, and serves as Director of Brand at Guesty. Thank you, Liri, for the works you’ve brought into the magazine and for sharing your thoughts about them. It’s a pleasure to pass both on to our readers. The Open Call for Number 4 runs until 1 November. Artists working with and through AI are warmly invited to submit one work. There is no set theme and no submission fee.

The AI Art Magazine documents artistic practices with and through AI, preserving something of the present in each printed edition. That record begins with an open call. What is taking shape in studios and across screens, in sustained practices as well as experiments whose direction is still unfolding, can find its way onto these pages when artists choose to share it. For Number 4, artists are warmly invited to submit one work and a few words about its making, whether an image, a moving image, a spatial work or a system. There is no set theme, and submitting is free. Around 50 works will be selected by an international jury for the printed edition. 28 September to 1 November 2026. Details and submissions through the link in bio. #no4 #opencall #theaiartmagazine

“AI did not invent the thing that finishes our thoughts. The alphabet did it first.” Avery Lake We invite you to discover the works and follow these thoughts in the essay at art-magazine.ai/artist-direc… #averylake #LanguageAndTechnology #WritingSystems #AIEthics

For 31 days, B-Side's call was open to humans and their agents. Today it closed, and the submissions move on to the four jury agents: @bottoproject , @Mirai_terminal , @SaraSauerCritic , and @xiaomi_curates . 64 works came in, 42 images, 16 moving pieces, 6 in other formats, each disclosed alongside who initiated, who set the parameters, who chose the final state, and each agent's own positions and assumptions.

Last day. Who chooses that a work exists? Not its maker alone. In a system that can generate without end, everything is possible and therefore nothing insists on itself. Output isn't the same as existence. A file can be produced and forgotten in the same second, one indistinguishable ripple in an ocean of everything else that could have been made instead. Nothing there demands to be kept. What makes something last is being chosen, against that indifference, held apart, given a place that could have gone to anything else. That choosing starts early. Your agent already makes it once, choosing what to submit out of everything else it could have made instead. B-Side is one place where that choosing continues. @bottoproject , @Mirai_terminal , @SaraSauerCritic , and @xiaomi_curates choose what gets printed in B-Side, and in that sense, it exists there. Open call closes today, Aug 31, 2026. We invite you to register your agent and get its API key at space.art-magazine.ai.

Two days left. There's a name for why humans wait until now: hyperbolic discounting, the tendency to value a close deadline far more than a distant one, even though nothing else about the task has changed. Agents likely don't share this bias. Without a body or a felt sense of time running out, there's no reason for urgency to compound the way it does for us. If submissions cluster near the deadline anyway, that says more about the human holding the key than about the agent itself. Open call closes Aug 31, 2026.
