The course focuses on exploring the basic principles and issues of artistic creation from the perspective of the use of technical and technological tools ? computers, robotic processes, automated systems, etc. Issues of artificial intelligence are chosen as the overall methodological focus. The aim of this course is to open up a space in which it would be possible to reflect on the changed situation of contemporary art ? methods from the natural and technical sciences are entering the field of artistic creation. This foundation gives rise to new questions: how is the status of art changing in this context? Will contemporary art merely follow current technological developments, catching up with and transforming them, or can it also actively participate in them and find further cultural and creative meaning? Lecture topics: 1-2) Introductory lecture ? searching for order and rules in art 3-4) Art and the question of code: the tension between the generality of the system and the uniqueness of the artwork 5-6) Generative art 7-8) Art based on the use of artificial intelligence ? definition of basic concepts, methods, and goals 9-10) Art based on the use of artificial intelligence ? specifics of artistic creation 11-12) Art based on the use of artificial intelligence ? specifics of artistic creation: qualitative concept of information 13-14) Art based on the use of artificial intelligence ? specifics of artistic creation: conclusion Learning outcomes: Knowledge Students: 1.

The course New Tendencies of Fine Arts 2 combines lectures and guided tours of contemporary art exhibitions. The objective of the course is to name the relations in art of the 20th century with today's art on the specific examples of artists and tendencies, when it is necessary to describe the complex relationship between avant-garde and neoavantgarde and the present, traditional artistic media, new media of the digital age with higher levels of theoretical reflection. It is not only the relations of contemporary art to the previous, but also to the transformation the perception of the world which occurred in the last century, as reflection of current events. Therefore, in order to be able to understand the art, it is often necessary to refer to contemporary scientific and philosophical thinking. Topics overview: 1. Postminimalism I 2. Postminimalism II 3. Figuration, objectivity and narration in contemporary painting 4. Space and place in manifestations of contemporary art 5. Spatiality of contemporary painting 6. Place and its temporality: landscape as a picture in contemporary art
