Posthuman Narratives: Artistic Experiments in Human-AI Co-Creation

Abstract

This paper explores the emergence of posthuman narratives in the context of artistic co-creation between humans and artificial intelligence (AI). As AI technologies become increasingly integrated into creative processes, artists are no longer sole creators but collaborators in a hybrid creative ecosystem. Posthumanism offers a critical framework to examine how these collaborations challenge traditional notions of authorship, identity, and creativity. Through a series of case studies, the article investigates how AI can function not merely as a tool, but as a co-author that redefines human experience and emotional expression in art. The study highlights how these experimental practices generate new narrative forms that transcend anthropocentric perspectives, reflecting the complexity of human-machine entanglements. Ethical and philosophical concerns—such as the reconfiguration of artistic agency, authorship, and intellectual ownership—are also addressed. Ultimately, the paper argues that posthuman narratives offer a speculative yet vital lens through which to understand the future of digital creativity and human-AI collaboration.
