PhantasIA explores the creative potential of AI in an eclectic, exhilarating, and uninhibited way. A monthly magazine showcasing original creations and the human, political, and environmental questions raised by AI, PhantasIA invites readers to engage with AI through creation in order to better understand it. Far from seeking to replace the artist with the machine, PhantasIA places the artist and the human being at the heart of creation and examines the impact of these new practices.
