The AI Art Magazine documents artistic practices with and through AI, preserving something of the present in each printed edition. That record begins with an open call. What is taking shape in studios and across screens, in sustained practices as well as experiments whose direction is still unfolding, can find its way onto these pages when artists choose to share it. For Number 4, artists are warmly invited to submit one work and a few words about its making, whether an image, a moving image, a spatial work or a system. There is no set theme, and submitting is free. Around 50 works will be selected by an international jury for the printed edition. 28 September to 1 November 2026. Details and submissions through the link in bio. #no4 #opencall #theaiartmagazine
