The Artificial Intelligence Palette Explores Unexplored Areas in Contemporary Indian Art

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in India has become a prominent influence in diverse domains, and its entry into the domain of art is transforming the landscape of modern Indian art. The integration of AI into this domain represents not just a technological advancement, but also a cultural transformation that delves into unexplored realms of artistic creativity. Indian artists are using AI to explore culturally significant subjects and incorporate traditional artistic components into AI-generated processes. This combination has not only aided in the conservation of cultural heritage but has also brought these traditional forms to a worldwide audience through an innovative and technologically advanced media. This study explores the impact of AI on modern Indian art by combining traditional techniques with innovative digital methods. It affects the artistic identity and disrupts the established standards of the traditional art market. Indian contemporary art is a lively and ever-changing field that mirrors the varied socio-cultural landscape of present-day India. The development of virtual intelligence in modern art encompasses a diverse range of styles and manifestations, influenced by the country's cultural heritage and the effects of globalization. Indian contemporary artists employ a diverse array of mediums such as painting, sculpture, installation, video, and performance art. This wide range of variability enables a comprehensive examination of various ideas and expressions. Artists in India frequently explore and tackle both global and local themes in their artistic creations. Themes such as globalization, migration, environmental problems, gender roles, and identity politics are commonly examined, typically combined with local narratives and aesthetics. This thesis also examines the impact of artificial intelligence on unexplored areas of contemporary Indian art, namely in the realms of digital and media art, art in rural contexts, ecological art, new media and post-internet art.
