Projects
AI-driven Creativity in Art Education
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in art education has the potential to transform creative pedagogy, yet the impact of AI-driven creativity on the artistic process remains underexplored. This project proposes an interdisciplinary theoretical framework synthesizing insights from educational psychology, philosophy of art, and AI ethics to elucidate the paradox of AI-driven creativity in art education.
The research questions are: (1) How does AI-driven creativity influence the artistic process in art education? (2) To what extent can AI foster or hinder creativity in art students? (3) How can art educators navigate the ethical implications of AI-driven creativity?
Project Start Year: 2023, Principal Investigator(s): POPOSKI, Zoran

 
Hong Kong Art Deco: Theatre buildings and the rise of modern cinema in transforming the city's socio-cultural landscape
This research argues that Art Deco, a modern architectural style, can be understood as a form of entertainment and demonstration of resistance of the colonized in early twentieth century Hong Kong. The project ultimately aims at examining the reach of Art Deco into everyday life of Hong Kong in the form of architecture and cinema, critique the dynamics between the dominated-subjugated in colonial Hong Kong, and offer a new way to conserve architectural heritage through emphasizing its aesthetic and sociocultural implications.
