Practice-based research, Digital Media Art, Generative Artificial Intelligence, Feminist Artivism, Female InvisibilityAbstract
This article develops a critical reflection based on the authorial project in/visibilidades no feminino, a practice-based research project that combines Digital Media Art (DMA), artivism, and cultural mediation in the conceptualisation of regimes of female invisibility, mobilising Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) as a device of critical co-authorship. This study focuses on how artistic practice mediated by GenAI can produce visual and sonic counter-narratives about the feminine through the re-inscription of female chants collected by Michel Giacometti in the Algarve region. An analysis is undertaken of the transition between digital and material media, experimentation with algorithmic imagery, and dialogical intervention as processes of critical reconfiguration of representations of the feminine.
