/imagine: Posthuman Tragedy and the Aura of AI-Produced Art

Abstract

This creative piece presents AI-generated images that take tragedy as their theme. The argument is made that this constitutes a posthuman reimagining of the tragic, and raises questions about the relationship between art, technology, and the human. With reference to Walter Benjamin, the question is asked whether there might be something like an ‘aura’ of the posthuman work of art?
