Art Content Creation: When demands are met by pipelines (or not)

As creative projects grow in scale and complexity, artists increasingly rely on pipelines that span concept, production, and delivery. This need has become even more pronounced with the rise of powerful creative AI models. This panel explores how artists and technologists design holistic, end-to-end workflows that can hold both the promise and the volatility of generative systems. From enabling new ideas to managing intricate processes, each project reveals what is gained and what becomes fragile when automation, iteration, and human judgment converge. The discussion looks at the practical and philosophical lessons learned from building these pipelines and considers how they reshape creative agency and the emerging aesthetics of AI-assisted work.
