Can a computer be an artist? Algorithms, evolution and the future of art

Urszula Boryczka , Tomasz Płosa

Language: EN | Published: 25-04-2025 | Abstract | pp. 18-19

This article addresses the interdisciplinary issue of the relationship between evolution and art, in which algorithms, specifically evolutionary algorithms, play the role of a mediator. The starting point is a reflection on the inspirations drawn from biological evolution theory, which has found application in genetic algorithms, evolutionary programming, and other computational methods. The text shows how algorithms not only optimise solutions to technical problems but can also stimulate creative processes. It attempts to answer the question about the future of art in the era of artificial intelligence and the role of emotions or empathy in the digital creative process.

Women in Art Yesterday and Women’s Art Today

Adam Bała , Paulina Poczęta

Language: EN | Published: 14-04-2023 | Abstract | pp. 18-21

Art used to be a tool to flaunt power, an ornament in the hands of wealthy elites, a synonym for luxury, and a show of social status. Similarly, women in old art had a clearly defined role — they were a motif, an iconographic reference to the idea of beauty or function (a mother, a saint, or a lover). In earlier eras, only male members of society were allowed to engage in education and creative endeavours. Women were not allowed to study at the academies of fine arts in Poland nearly until the end of World War I, as their ability to take on the great tasks of high art was questioned.

Language: EN | Published: 19-04-2024 | Abstract | pp. 6-9

Art education plays an important role in children and young people’s educational process. It is crucial in developing imagination, creativity, communication skills, problem-solving skills, and self-expression through various artistic media such as drawing, painting, photography, music, and dance. Through art, children learn to express their thoughts in an original and unique way and to relate to their environment.

The Union of Art and Information Technology

Krzysztof Gdawiec , Adam Bała

Language: EN | Published: 03-11-2023 | Abstract | pp. 18-21

It is now difficult to imagine the world of art without the presence of elements of information technology. Just as people used to primarily paint with a brush on a canvas or sculpt in stone or wood in the past, nowadays many works are created with a greater or lesser contribution of digital technologies. AI (Artificial Intelligence), which is now able to generate artworks using algorithms and neural networks, AR (Augmented Reality), and VR (Virtual Reality) technologies are now increasingly entering the domain of art.

To survive. Climate migration through the eyes of the Global South

Ewa Macura-Nnamdi , Magdalena Malinowska , Weronika Cygan-Adamczyk

Language: EN | Published: 25-04-2025 | Abstract | pp. 22-25

In the face of intensifying climate change, the phenomenon of migration – or rather displacement – is taking on a new meaning, especially from the perspective of the Global South. Researchers analyse literature and art from African and Caribbean countries to bring to light the less-heard but extremely important voices of the communities most affected by the climate crisis. They draw attention to the difference between the Western narrative on migration and local adaptation strategies, which often express hope, determination and a desire to create a new future – also through African futurism. In their view, climate-induced displacement is not only a geographical migration but also a cultural and symbolic change that redefines humanity's relationship with the planet and other forms of life. It is a voice that, if heard, could be the key to a more just and sustainable future.

Inbetween worlds: Henryk Baranowski and his journey through theatre and life

Magdalena Nowacka-Flakiewicz

Language: EN | Published: 21-11-2025 | Abstract | pp. 26-27

In the work of Henryk Baranowski (1943–2013) – director, emigrant, educator, philosopher and actor – travel became not only a geographical experience but also a spiritual necessity and an artistic tool. He directed over 60 theatre and opera productions in Europe, Russia, and the US. From the stages of Warsaw to Berlin’s Kreuzberg and New York’s experiments, Baranowski constantly wandered, crossing the boundaries of cultures, aesthetics, and himself. He was not afraid to experiment. His life and theatre represent a multidimensional journey through eras, places, and ideas, as well as a record of transgression, transformation, and the search for meaning. In a world that today is itself in constant motion, his art proves to be surprisingly relevant.
