Abstract
Generative AI technologies are at the centre of many debates. To better understand the challenges these technologies raise in the arts, we conducted a creative project based entirely on open-source, self-hosted models. This practice-based research approach in digital arts and technologies enabled us to co-produce Pierrot Lunaire, based on Arnold Schonberg’s musical work, as part of a large-scale European project exploring AI and creativity. In this article, we present a detailed and comprehensive study of the workflows we discovered and implemented and suggest some of the consequences of introducing these technologies into our artistic practice.
