DYLAN'S CATALOGUE OF ZINES

In the Age of AI, thinking as an artist means paying attention to how ideas now come from many places at once. Creativity lives in the space between our own decisions, the tools we use every day, and the systems that shape what we see and imagine. Instead of resisting these tools or pretending they are neutral, I have learned to treat AI as another voice in the room that can push my imagination in directions I would not reach on my own. At the same time, working through all these zines showed me that artists still need to stay responsible because AI can speed things up, distort ideas, or flatten them if we are not careful. The challenge is to use its strengths without losing our own intentions. For me, expanding creativity now means expanding the conversation by letting technology influence the work while also questioning it, shaping it, and keeping a sense of human judgment behind every choice. This final project is a record of that relationship. It is a collaboration, a negotiation, and a look at what it means to make art with something that is constantly reshaping how we create.
