Using Generative AI as an Artistic Material: A Hacker's Guide

Hacking is an approach to working with technology aimed at pushing it beyond it's intended design, use it in unconventional ways in order to get it to do things it is not supposed to do. This paper documents a number of artistic experiments that take a hacker's approach to subverting and intervening in the normal functioning of generative AI systems, treating generative AI as an artistic material. This paper argues this hacking ethos offers a critical approach to explainable AI in the arts.
