The Dilemma of "No Author" Generated by Algorithm: Reflection on Aesthetic Autonomy and Cultural Discourse Power in Artistic Creation

Abstract

This research aims to deeply analyze the dilemma of ""no author" faced by algorithm - generated art. With the rapid development of technology, the application of algorithms in the field of artistic creation has become increasingly extensive. As an emerging form of art, algorithm - generated art has gradually emerged, but its issue of "no author" has sparked many controversies and thoughts. From the unique perspectives of aesthetic autonomy and cultural discourse power, this research comprehensively uses methods such as literature research method and case - analysis method to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the dilemma of "no author" in algorithm - generated art. The study finds that the "no author" of algorithm - generated art not only challenges the definition of the author concept in traditional artistic creation but also brings difficulties to copyright ownership. In terms of aesthetic autonomy, algorithm - generated works exhibit unique aesthetic characteristics and values, while also influencing human aesthetic expression. From the perspective of cultural discourse power, algorithm - generated art plays an important role in cultural dissemination, but the cultural biases behind the algorithms and their "no author" characteristics have a complex impact on the distribution of cultural discourse power and cultural diversity. This research provides a new theoretical perspective for understanding the nature of algorithm - generated art and also provides useful reference for guiding artistic creation practice and standardizing the development of the art market.
