Historical context & research account
Shannon establishes a mathematical theory of communication. The genealogy does not position him as the direct origin of AI art; it identifies a broader condition in which images, writing and sound can be treated as encodable information. Datasets, compressed representations, latent spaces and generative models develop within this wider informational framework.
