Definitions

"AI art" AI art, also known as artificial intelligence art or algorithmic art, refers to artwork created or generated using artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms and techniques. In AI art, the role of the human artist varies, ranging from direct input and guidance to minimal involvement in the creative process.

AI art can take various forms, including digital paintings, drawings, sculptures, music compositions, and even poetry. It often involves machine learning algorithms trained on vast datasets of existing artwork to generate new, original pieces. These algorithms can mimic artistic styles, patterns, and techniques, leading to the creation of visually compelling and conceptually rich artworks.

​

The emergence of AI art raises questions about authorship, creativity, and the role of technology in artistic expression. While AI algorithms contribute to the generation of artwork, human artists may still play a significant role in the conceptualisation, selection, and refinement of the final pieces. AI art blurs the boundaries between human and machine creativity, challenging traditional notions of artistic practice and opening new possibilities for exploration and innovation in the art world.

These commissions are paid for in full, granting Celestial Events full business usage rights. Artist credit is not requested or required as part of this agreement.

Celestial Events Private Facebook Group

The administrators and moderators cannot fact-check every item submitted for its originality or authenticity. For this reason, we keep discussions on moral topics such as (but not limited to) AI art, deforestation, forced labour, fan-fiction, and licensed vs. non-licensed products out of the group. These topics often carry strong and opposing views, which can be divisive and detract from the group’s purpose as a positive, inclusive fan space for event attendees.

When joining the group, users are presented with clear sign-up questions that encourage them to use their own discretion while participating. The group does not serve as a fact-checking platform or a space for moral debates. 

 

Any breach involving misinformation, hate speech, or slander directed toward Celestial Events, its Administrators, Moderators, Volunteers, or Staff will be met with legal ramifications.
