AI Halftime

As AI evolves in increasingly autonomous and difficult-to-govern ways, it has become clear that we are no longer at an early moment of experimentation. AI halftime presents a suspended moment within an unfolding transformation. Challenging the divide between technology and nature, the book argues that technology is not an external force but part of the hybrid ecology we inhabit, evolving in continuous intra-action with biological, social, and perceptual systems. This book investigates the roles, embodiments, and agencies AI assumes within artistic practice. It explores emerging hybrid ecologies shaped by multiple intelligences and asks: How can artistic practices intervene structurally, reshaping the trajectories of technological evolution and redefining what intelligence might become?
