Audry explains the fundamental design of machine learning algorithmic structures in terms accessible to the nonspecialist while framing these technologies within larger historical and conceptual spaces. Audry debunks myths about machine learning art, including the ideas that machine learning can create art without artists and that machine learning will soon bring about superhuman intelligence and creativity. Audry considers learning procedures, describing how artists hijack the training process by playing with evaluative functions; discusses trainable machines and models, explaining how different types of machine learning systems enable different kinds of artistic practices; and reviews the role of data in machine learning art, showing how artists use data as a raw material to steer learning systems and arguing that machine learning allows for novel forms of algorithmic remixes.1 Introduction\u003cbr\u003eI TRAINING\u003cbr\u003e2 Optimizing Art\u003cbr\u003e3 Curbing the Training Curve\u003cbr\u003e4 Aesthetics of Adaptive Behaviors\u003cbr\u003eII MODELS\u003cbr\u003e5 Beyond Human Understanding\u003cbr\u003e6 Evolutionary Learning\u003cbr\u003e7 Shallow Learning\u003cbr\u003e8 Deep Learning\u003cbr\u003eIII DATA\u003cbr\u003e9 Data as Code\u003cbr\u003e10 Deep Remises\u003cbr\u003e11 Watching and Dreaming\u003cbr\u003e12 Conclusion\u003cbr\u003eGlossary \u003cbr\u003eNotes\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003eName Index\u003cbr\u003eSubject Index“Audry puts machine learning in historical context and provocatively argues for its unique artistic potential.
